Tennis Blast is Great 4
Kids, Teens and Adults of all
abilities.
- Tennis Blast is its basic
form suitable for kids, teens
and adults of all ages and
abilities. It starts off with
learning and practicing the most
important tennis specific
movements, co-ordination and
balance. Then the participant
learns and practices balls
skills followed by racquet
skills combined with footwork
movements.
- The aim of Tennis Blast is
to get more people playing
Tennis as it is a great way to
stay physically and mentally fit
throughout a lifetime. Blast is
capable, under the right
conditions, of assisting people
of all personalities and types
to find a way to enjoy tennis.
- Competition Tennis players
who like the challenge and
pressure of high level
competition will benefit from
improved fitness and tennis
skills.
- We have found that some
people don’t wish to play tennis
competitively bust still like
the fun and skill acquisition
involved in hitting shots and
dance like footwork. Tennis
Blast caters for the person who
want to do a team activity just
for fitness, fun and enjoyment
of a dance type Tennis session.
- Many males and females may
like to develop their tennis
skills and fitness in their own
unique way and participate in
different, alternative types of
tennis activities rather than
competitive or tournament style
tennis. See the Tennis Dance
Video Clip.
- The ultimate goal of Tennis
Blast is to educate participants
of all classes to be know and
capable of executing the 36
modern day shots at the end of
the correct ways of moving to
every part of the tennis court
and then correctly return to
their original starting position
in every possible situation to
any part of the opponent’s
court. Although this may sound
easy, the level of fitness,
skill and mental focus to do so
is extremely high and we
estimate that it will take an
average of 3 years to master all
the skills and both the physical
and mental demands posed by
Tennis Blast.
- Tennis Blast also includes a
complete section on Tennis
specific abdominal and band
exercises. The strength part of
the program is aimed at teens
and adults and is an alternative
to doing weights in the gym.
David Bailey, the technical
director of Tennis Blast states
that the Tennis Blast Band is
the most valuable piece of
equipment for fitness that
anyone can have. The Tennis
Blast Exercise Band can be used
in every training session to
increase muscle strength and
prevent injury.
- Stretches should be learned
from a young age, but become
increasingly important with age.
Stretches are used throughout
the program to maintain
flexibility and relaxation.
