This article reflects on the current need to adapt coaching methodology according to the implementation of the Tennis 10s rule change enforced by the ITF in January 2012. It discusses two fundamental aspects of the Tennis10s programme and justifies the importance of this methodological evolution focusing on the benefits for beginner players. Finally, it reflects on a key aspect: appropriately focused competition being a fundamental driver at the beginner level for the teaching – learning process.
