How Tennis Blast Evolved
- This program was created by Kerry Dock and
David Bailey who saw the potential to create a
crossover between fitness and tennis and
therefore attracting a whole new generation of
people who want to get fit, lose weight and stay
that way. Traditional tennis has always been a
“lifetime” sport.
- Tennis Blast originates from David Bailey’s
fitness and biomechanical background and Kerry
Dock’s tennis coaching theories. They teamed up
a year ago to design the Tennis Blast Program.
- David has been the leading tennis fitness and
footwork educator in NSW for the past 15 years
and is also an expert in nutrition and
rehabilitation for tennis players. He has worked
with just about all of NSW’s high performance
players.
- Kerry has been a professional coach and centre
operator in NSW for the past 30 years and
specializes in basics and psyche for beginner
and intermediate tennis players. We believe that
with this combination Play Tennis World has
created the ultimate Tennis Fitness
Program...Tennis Blast.
- Noel Callaghan who is Sydney’s leading High
Performance Coach will also back up PTW Blast
fitness with the latest fitness and tennis
trends from the Pro Circuit.
- “We knew that a large percentage of people who
can and would love to play tennis aren’t playing
at all or very little compared to what they
were. I think the reason is that playing or
practicing tennis is good but just doesn’t
measure up compared to other things they can
spend their time, energy and dollars on for most
people in 2008 and beyond.
- Many players, coaches, centre and business
operators were and still are moving away from
Tennis mainly because of falling participation
rates, too little return for effort, stagnant
incomes and the absence of status and a secure
future.”
- “As well we could see that for some people,
tennis was too individual, elite and based
around trying to beat each other. Tournaments
and competitions are too tough for many people
who are not so individually competitive.”
“So we hope Tennis Blast is part of
the answer.”

- We wanted to create a program that is not
just limited to a tennis court as we are trying
to target different demographics for consumers
and also the type of instructors needed to teach
the program to reach a larger market. We felt
the need to have to diversify and expand our
program to include more than just tennis
specific drills on a tennis court. Let’s face
it...it’s all been done before!
- With the Tennis Blast Program, not only Tennis
Professionals can teach the program on the
tennis court but Fitness Instructors and
PE/School Sports Teachers can also teach in an
appropriate location of their choice. This will
effectively reach more people around the nation
by giving them another fitness alternative to
help combat the obesity problem that we have
globally that is spiralling out of control.
- Each Tennis Blast Instructor will choose a set
of drills depending on the ability and levels of
their participants, the amount of participants
taking part in the class and the location they
want to run their class from.
- By doing it this way we hope to add variety to
all instructors programs keeping all
participants engaged in the program and coming
back for more, because you never know what your
going to get next.
- The list of locations we have outlined below are
just some suggestions you can run a Tennis Blast
program from. You will be able to choose certain
drills from the drill library to fit the
required location of your choice.
Now, tennis can offer people a
lifetime of fun, heart-healthy workouts.
