A NEW COMPONENT OF THE ITF’S PLAY AND STAY PROGRAMME

​Launched in November 2012 at the Tennis Play and Stay Seminar, Tennis Xpress is an ITF Official Programme and is an easy, active and fun coaching programme for adults.

Tennis Xpress is designed as a 6-session course of 9-hours (6 x 1.5 hours) and is a specific ‘off-the-shelf’ course that has been developed by the ITF to introduce starter adult players to tennis using the slower balls.  The aim is to help starter adults to serve, rally and score (play the game) from the first session and to ensure that by the end of the course :

  • all adults will know the basic techniques, tactics and the Rules of Tennis
  • all adults will be able to play competitive points using the Green ball on a full court

For the purpose of this course, adult starter players are defined as those who :
​
  • are complete beginners to tennis i.e. have never played tennis before, or
  • who have received basic coaching but have never played the game outside of a coaching environment, or
  • beginners returning to tennis after a long absence

Tennis Xpress is a supporting programme of the ITF Tennis Play and Stay Campaign. Tennis Ireland's Director of Development, Roger Geraghty, has produced a very informative video presentation on Tennis Xpress which we have included below.

You can also find a wealth of promotional and educational materials over at the Tennis Play & Stay website, click here to visit site.
