Benchmark Coaches have embraced the 12 and Under pathway using the proper Nets, Balls, and Courts, and we line-out the 36 foot and 60 foot courts for our events. We pride ourselves on that fact that we believe in continued education and use what we learn to make our programs more effective and fun.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
All Benchmark Tennis Junior Tennis events are Match Play!
By forming a group of dedicated tennis professionals who believe in a Common Coaching Pathway (CCP), we can provide the necessary coaching and training so that our participants’ expectations are exceeded, resulting in better play.
We developed and set standards for all ages and levels of play that ensure that match play activity is a positive and rewarding experience. The coaching, playing, and advancing segments of our programs are the key to your child’s success.
Our Coaches want kids to be successful wherever they are in their stage of development. Students will be able to play matches when they have achieved the requirements in the Match Play Criteria. And they will advance to the next level (Ball Color) when they have achieved the requirements in the Advancement Criteria.
Students who participate in Benchmark Tennis are better prepared for USTA Events, like tournaments and Junior Team Tennis leagues.
Our committed tennis professionals are organizing events in your area based on the following formats. Each level will have a beginning and advanced grouping.
RED LEVEL 36 foot court Red Felt ball 7- Point Tie Breaker
ORANGE LEVEL 60 foot court Orange Felt ball 10- Point Tie Breaker
GREEN LEVEL 78 foot court Green Dot Felt Ball 10- Point Tie Breaker
All Matches are timed.
SIMPLE STROKES
Simple strokes are demonstrated and then the player is given enough opportunity to develop the stroke.
COMMON COACHING PATHWAY
Our unique and diverse group of coaches has agreed to follow our proven method of coaching that is a collection of best practices, ideas, trials, and errors.
