How we coach
The Crown Courts method
Five ideas every coach on the team agrees on.
- 01
Play first
Every session ends in points. Tennis is learnt by playing it.
- 02
One thing at a time
A single focus per session, repeated until it sticks.
- 03
Show, then say
Video on the tablet beats a long speech.
- 04
Praise effort
Players who try new shots lose a few points first. That is fine.
- 05
Parents are partners
Short written notes each term and a coach who answers WhatsApp.
Safeguarding trained
Every coach completes safeguarding training each year and a background check.
Licensed coaches
Coaching licences at level 2 or above from the national federation.
First aid on court
First aid kits and an ice box by every court.
Learning together
One morning a month the coaches train each other.
Femi fixed a serve I had hit badly for twenty years in three lessons. He made it simple.
Pick a coach, a court and a time.
All three in one booking, paid in one go with Receivly.
