On Saturday 13th August 2011, 15 coaches from around Canberra travelled to Sydney for the day to sit in on a workshop run by Mike Barrell. Mike Barrell is the Director of evolve9 in the UK, and a world-renowned expert in the area of children’s tennis.
The workshop covered:
• The benefits of modified tennis and formats for children
• Why run club-based competitions
• Preparing children for competition in your lessons
• Creating the right environment in your club
• Understanding and developing a competitive orientation in young players
• Effective planning, marketing and running your competition calendar
• The best age-appropriate formats for red, orange and green stages
• Working with and understanding parents
The workshop was a huge success with all 15 coaches leaving the day very motivated and inspired. Mike was an excellent speaker. The way in which he presented this workshop and developed the relationship with the group made it very easy for everyone to take a lot of useful information.
