Naas LTC has a philosophy as to the value of a comprehensive coaching programme. That philosophy can be summed up as follows. Tennis players want to have fun. Fun stems from success and competence. Because tennis is such a technical game, competence can only come from top quality instruction.

With regard to junior players, there is no substitute for starting right . It's so much easier for a junior player to learn the right techniques from a young age, than to learn the wrong techniques and have to `undo` them later on. A good coach can make this learning process fun, thus helping children improve quickly and giving them the motivation  to continue to be active club members for many many years.

For adults the Naas coaching team comes from the standpoint that they will "work with what you have" - making improvements in a players game, but without going back to "square one". Unless of course a player wishes to take that route. But the team recognizes that for the vast majority of adults that is not practicable. Working within the framework of the skills a player has already developed over a number of years is generally the order of the day.

Naas LTC take the view that if your car is causing trouble you call a mechanic, if your heating is problematic you call a plumber, so if your serve is letting you down you should call a tennis coach! We are delighted to have  a number of experienced and dedicated coaches to serve the needs of our members. For more information, please check out the Notice Boards in the Foyer.
