The 3 pillar strategy explained

Fitness First

The curriculum is committed to getting children fit first so that they can play not just tennis, but any other sport. The Fitness First component focuses on drills designed to build core strength, stamina, agility and overall fitness.

Right Basics

A key component of the program, Right Basics ensures that children are immersed in strong basic techniques to ensure the creation of a foundation on which to build their game. This segment focuses on basic game skills that are established using a combination of off-court technique lessons, repetition drills and on-court practice sessions.

Play Smart

This component of the curriculum offers participants tips on leveraging their fitness, mental strength and game skills to compete effectively. This includes on-court skills sessions as well as enhanced fitness drills.

The RBTA Advantage

It is critical that children build a strong physical foundation at a young age to help prepare them better for a lifetime of healthy, sporting activity. It is equally important that a coaching program offers balance and variety while being both engaging and fun. The carefully structured curriculum at the Rohan Bopanna Tennis Academy (RBTA) ticks all these boxes and aims to guide children through various stages of their development. The RBTA Coaching Team assesses every child’s age, development and proficiency to identify a suitable program and group for each of them.

The program, created by Rohan is implemented on a day-to-day basis by a team of qualified, enthusiastic coaches committed to making sports training an exciting and enjoyable experience.

We also believe that it is imperative that coaches and parents must work together to ensure children get the best from the program. At RBTA students are continuously evaluated and progress reports shared regularly with parents. Rohan also meets parents, to share tips on managing ambitions and counsel them on how to get the best from their children, during his visit
