PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PATHWAY (FULL WRITTEN VERSION)
 

Player Development Pathway
 

The AG Tennis Academy Player Development Pathway outlines how players progress over time through structured stages of training. Each stage builds upon the previous one to ensure steady, sustainable growth.
 

Foundation Stage
 

Players focus on fundamental movement, coordination, basic stroke patterns, and understanding how tennis works. Emphasis is placed on confidence, consistency, and comfort on the court.
 

Development Stage
 

Players begin refining technique, improving footwork, and learning structured patterns of play. Training becomes more intentional, with increased focus on control, rallying, and decision-making.
 

Performance Stage
 

Advanced players work on execution under pressure, competitive awareness, and long-term performance habits. Training emphasizes discipline, consistency, and preparation for higher-level play.

Progression through stages is guided by evaluations and ongoing observation rather than timelines, ensuring each player advances when ready.
