In over 35 years of experience in player and coach education with leading national tennis associations, we have found that tennis players develop differently in different areas. Often, both players and coaches lack a clear understanding of the skills needed to reach their full potential. Conventional classifications such as beginner, advanced or experienced are often too imprecise.
Although rankings and performance categories for tournament players provide an overview of the current level of performance, they rarely offer specific advice on how players can further improve their skills. This is precisely where the TennisGate 4 Level System comes in – it offers both players and coaches a clear orientation.
To develop as a tennis player or coach in all areas, it is important to know exactly what skills are available in the areas of technique, tactics and footwork. The goal is to achieve a technical, tactical and athletic level that enables players to develop their individual playing style and build on their strengths.
This system puts the skills first, regardless of age or previous training. Whether you want to learn the game from scratch or are out to win as many matches as possible, the TennisGate 4 Level System shows you and your coach exactly where you stand and what steps you should take next to take your game to the next level.
The TennisGate 4 Level System is ideal for players, coaches and parents who want to personalize their tennis training. It provides a clear structure for targeted training. The levels not only provide a snapshot of the current state, but also show how the next level can be reached.
This system forms the basis for all technical and tactical instructions on our site. Players can use the ‘Playing Levels’ classification to filter content and practice at their current level. This provides coaches with a clear structure for creating individually tailored training plans. In this way, both players and coaches are supported step by step in their development with targeted exercises and instructions.
