Improve overhead coordination in beginners using simple but effective exercises with the balloon.
You control the length of your serve primarily by how you toss the ball. With small variations, you will quickly develop a much better feel for it.
Players must use their footwork to be where the ball bounces. This is the only way to achieve the optimal hitting position.
First and foremost, we would like to thank the many players and parents who have experienced the highs and lows of this sport together with us. We are proud not only of our successful players, but also of those who have learned to change their goals over the years and adapt them to reality. “Success cannot be coached.”
At the end of the day, we just want our players to be happy. That’s why we have the utmost respect for all those players who have decided to end their tennis careers, either on their own initiative or on our advice. Even though this is fortunately only the minority, these “dropouts” are still a big part of our experience. TennisGate is committed to making a significant contribution to preventing these dropouts.
In collaboration with partners and joint projects, these experts have contributed to our work over the years.
