👨👩👧 Parent Guide
Our Teaching Philosophy at JINJI TENNIS CENTER
We believe children improve best when they enjoy the process, understand what they are learning, and progress at the right time. Below is how and why our program is structured.
1️⃣ Why Each Stage Exists
🟢 Group Lessons – Foundation Stage
Why it exists:
Children need a fun, social environment to build confidence, coordination, and basic tennis skills.
Group lessons help children:
-
Feel comfortable on court
-
Learn correct fundamentals early
-
Develop rhythm, balance, and movement
This stage creates a strong base and prevents bad habits.
🔵 Private Coaching – Understanding Stage
Why it exists:
Every child develops differently. At this stage, personal attention becomes important.
Private lessons allow coaches to:
-
Identify individual strengths and weaknesses
-
Clearly explain technique in a way your child understands
-
Correct specific strokes safely and effectively
This stage turns effort into understanding.
🔴 Performance Training – Application Stage
Why it exists:
Some children want to challenge themselves through competition and match play.
Performance training focuses on:
-
Applying skills under pressure
-
Decision-making and tactical awareness
-
Emotional control and confidence
This stage prepares children not just to play, but to compete healthily.
2️⃣ What Parents Should Expect
✔ Clear explanations of what your child is learning
✔ Honest recommendations — no rushing to the next stage
✔ Focus on long-term development, not quick results
✔ Coaches who communicate openly and professionally
Your child will never be pushed into a level they are not ready for.
3️⃣ How Children Progress Safely and Naturally
Children move forward when three things align:
-
Technical readiness
-
Emotional confidence
-
Personal motivation
Progression is based on:
-
Skill consistency
-
Ability to understand feedback
-
Enjoyment and self-confidence
We guide children forward only when it supports healthy growth.
