Jacques has been busy with our youth camps, developing the various age groups from essential coordination and ball control for the very young ones to rally, serve and volley skills for the older ones and team cooperation on court and shot placement for the oldest age group. Jacques has seen them grow in confidence, improve their skills and get real enjoyment from tennis. We also had Petra Hartman assist Jacques; Petra is an up and coming youth instructor and the kids loved her.
Let’s hear from Jacques himself on his observations –
“Each day we recap on the skills we practised the day before and the rate of improvement for the different skills varies a lot between different ages, athleticism and ability. However, their delight when they achieve a good result is great to see, especially when I praise the kids who are the most improved each week…. It stimulates even greater confidence in them and their group to do better .”
