Level Up Tennis Guide

Introduction

The Level Up system has been designed to be used with players of every age on every court size as their development journey. We blend the court sizes and ball colour to enhance player skills & provide them with the appropriate challenges, so you may see players using a red ball over a slightly lowered full court net. We use a modified Level Up programme in the holidays with no set levels.

Levels 1 to 36

are designed to give players a good foundation and base. The focus is on techniques for the skill & behavioral aspects. The Play Tour is an excellent programme to support your development with home based levels.

Levels 37 - 72

now focus on players refining their play and increasing their court demands, 2 lessons a week is now available for players who are interested &/or showing promise.

Levels 73 - 108

have increased intensity levels to test out players skills developed in Levels 1 to 72. Players are ideally now competing regularly and using what they have learnt on the competition court.

Play Tour

A unique programme to improve your athletic skills, we have an on-court version with our coaches or a downloadable home version. The Play Tour is perfect for players new to tennis or current players looking to improve their athletic skills. In the Play Tour we are not teaching you tennis skills but skills for tennis, if your looking to work on tennis strokes/tactics please join our level groups.

School Levels

Our school clubs have a modified Level Up system to support their development. Each year group has 6 levels which introduce, develop and challenge the main shots in tennis: Serve, Forehand, Backhand, Volleys.

Where should I start?

If you are new to tennis please look for a suitable age group with the lowest Level we currently offer, ideally below Level 10 where possible. We would also recommend taking part in the Play Tour to improve your confidence & familiarise yourself with our Level system. 

The Level Up system was introduced in 2020 so our players are currently working their way up through the levels. The group Levels change as the group "levels up", which allows them to stay on the same day at the same time. 

Any questions if your not sure which group or level you should sign up to, please email Head Coach Gemma: coaching@pinpointtennisteam.co.uk
