COACHING PROGRAMS
FUTURES COACHES ARE QUALIFIED TENNIS AUSTRALIA
Futures Tennis Academy [FTA] offers a systematic, sequential and holistic total program which enhances all player opportunity's to reach their potential.
Through-out each stage in the program players can see the pathway [see Futures Coaching Pathways] they need to take for their future development and improvement. Futures programs are designed by Wes Horskins, the Director of FTA, who was a former touring professional who played in Glam Slam tournaments such as the Australian Open and is a Tennis Australia Advanced Coach and Board Member of the TCAV.
Futures strongly recommends that pupils play competition, in conjunction with their coaching, as each program justifies and extends the other. Coaching works on the technical elements of a players development whilst competition works on the mental attributes and strategy of match play. To particpate in just one program is to do just half the job. Of course, by playing at least twice per week, their is also more chance for improvement.
NEW 2009 - FULL TIME SQUAD
Futures has commenced a new full time squad for ages 8-12 years. This program would suit all players who are trying to take tennis as far as they possibly can. If you are serious about tennis and improving - this is the program for you! 
The package includes two one hour squads per week, one weekly 45min weekly private class, attendance at Friday Night Comp and one free weekly 1 1/2 hr fitness and match play session. There is also an expectation that all players must be a member and play week-end competition for East Malvern Tennis Club. Players will also be expected to participate in at least one tournament [The TCAV Championships in the September Holidays] which will be supervised by a coach who will also evaluate player performances.
HOT SHOTS COMPETITION Aussie Open Demo [New program for 6-11 yr olds]
Futures Tennis Academy's Hot Shots demonstration at this years Australian Open was an extremely exciting event for all pupils involved, particularly, when we crossed to a live broadcast on channel 7's "Sunrise" morning show. [See photo's below]
Hot Shots is a modified comp held on Saturday morning at Ardrie Park Tennis Club using low compression balls, mini courts and lower net and is designed for kids between 6-11 years. The slower balls allow for longer rally's and makes it easier for kids to commence playing competition right from their first lesson. For more information give us a call!
NEW HOT SHOT SANCTIONED TENNIS AUSTRALIA TOURNAMENTS
Futures will be conducting three Hot Shot Tennis Tournaments for all players between the ages of 5 upwards on the first Friday of the school holidays at East Malvern Tennis Club in 2009 starting. Hot Shots is a modified tennis game using low compression balls and smaller court and net. This tournament is OPEN TO THE GENEAL PUBLIC and all player need to be able to do is start a rally with a drop and hit [no real serving neccessary!].
