ADULT COACHING
Maria provides an extensive adult coaching program in the format of
individual and group lessons. Her programmes offer a systematic
approach to maximizing potential and increasing the enjoyment of
all participants in the sport of tennis.

Tennis Canada, provides a framework for developing physical literacy,
physical fitness, technical and tactical skills and competitive
ability, using a stage by stage approach. The Tennis Canada (LTAD)
Model outlines an optimal development plan based on growth,
development and maturation for all individuals to participate in
tennis.

you are a new participant entering at any age, a recreational
participant who is active for life, or a competitive participant (High
Performance) training to compete regularly.
