Coaching for
girls aged 12 – 16.
Many thanks to the senior ladies, Marie Haughton,
Nora Dunne, Maeve McCarthy and Caroline Geraghty who have been
assisting many of the junior girls aged 11 – 16 with coaching on a
Saturday evening. This has proven to be very successful with the
girls, gaining skills and confidence. This will cease for July and
August but will return in September.

Wicklow
Tennis Club - Coaching Philosophy
With regard to junior players, there is no substitute for starting
right. It is so much easier for a junior player to learn the right
techniques from a young age, than to develop the wrong techniques
and have to `undo` them later on. A good coach can make this
learning process fun, thus helping children improve quickly and
motivating them to continue to be active club members for many
years.
Our
coaching programme has been put in place by our coaching
organiser Peter Farrell. Peter is a highly qualified and
experienced coach and we are extremely fortunate to have his
services available to our club. Peter has two other
qualified coaches working with him and between them, they
provide on-going coaching to about 150 children of all ages
and abilities.
