Our 3-sessions-per-week junior program follows a strict progression, using age-appropriate equipment like low-compression balls to ensure your child learns the correct mechanics without frustration. ### How We Train Kids At our Bikasipura academy, we keep the focus on building a solid foundation. Whether your child is 5 or 16, they receive step-by-step guidance. We limit our group batches to a 1:6 or 1:8 coach-to-student ratio, meaning your child gets actual feedback on their swing path, footwork, and grip, rather than just hitting balls randomly. ### Why Red Clay Courts? We prioritize training on red clay courts because they are more forgiving on joints and teach players to slide, balance, and wait for the ball. It’s a surfaces that demands better movement habits, which helps juniors develop a complete game early on. If weather creates issues, we have indoor backup courts ready to keep the training consistent. ### Progression and Assessment We treat every student's growth seriously. We conduct formal skill assessments every three months to track level advancement. This isn't just about fun; it’s about measurable progress. We use specialized equipment tailored to their age—red, orange, or green dot balls—to keep the rallies going and the confidence high. By the time they graduate from our junior tennis coaching programs, they are ready for the next level, whether that is club play or competitive tournaments. ## About Elite Tennis Academy We are a team of ITF-certified coaches based off Kanakapura Road who treat tennis as a life skill. Whether your child is just starting or aiming for tournaments, we use consistent, step-by-step drills to help them play smarter and move better.
