The After School Activity Group coaching programme is offered to all students from infant to high school through the school online activity sign up. They are grouped based on age and ability.
Schedule:
Please refer to the Schedule for Infant, junior, middle and high school for options and timetable. We have tried to keep the timings as consistent as possibly throughout the year, to make planning easier for parents!
Levels:
Following the international tennis federation (ITF) guidelines, the correct coloured low compression ball and court size based on age and ability are used. Within the stages of coloured balls we offer progressive levels from beginner/intermediate to intermediate/pre-competition. Click here for a more in-depth explanation. It is important to get the level of groups correct to ensure all players are training with a similar ability. Coaches will also assess on the first day. If you are new to the school or the programme you are welcome to sign up for the Assessment week, which is in the second week of school, to meet the coaching team and have an informal assessment. Please contact jaumeuwc@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg to register for the assessment week.
