Tennis Xpress, Coaching adults, Coaching methodologyAbstract
The recent launch of the ITF Tennis Xpress programme for adults requires us to consider and perhaps even review the way in which we teach adults to play tennis. In doing so, we must balance the reasons why adults play tennis with the achievement of personal goals, whilst at the same time recognising that they are different to children, and helping them to play and love the game.
