Methodology of the tennis program

The primary focus of RPS Academy is to enhance the cognitive and mental facets of tennis, including emotional regulation and a deeper strategic comprehension of the game. Our game-based training, a blend of structured and open formats, tailors to expanding a player’s tactical awareness and self-evaluation abilities within an enriching yet rigorous setting. This method not only makes training engaging but also ensures a comprehensive grasp of game dynamics.

In terms of spatial training, working within reduced spaces forms a core part of our regimen. This approach sharpens reflexes, enhances ball control, and fosters quicker decision-making under pressure. It catalyzes an improvement in agility and balance, vital for mastering effective court movement and precise shot-making.

Integrating didactic tools such as barriers serves to deepen analytical thinking and problem-solving capabilities. Such tools are indispensable for cultivating a player’s ability to adapt tactics and strategies across varying match situations.

Competition preparation is woven into the fabric of our daily training. Our regimen is designed to prime athletes for peak performance during tournaments, equipping them with the resilience to handle the psychological demands of competitive play. Training sessions introduce various pressures, mimicking real-match conditions and enabling players to adapt swiftly to different opponents and surfaces.
