  This placement would suit... your average tennis enthusiast! Enjoy the sunshine of Queensland as you improve your whole game, from your serve to your footwork. Every ability is welcome and results are proven.

Located on the Gold Coast of Australia, the RSE Tennis Academy provides the perfect environment to help you develop and excel as a tennis player. With a proven programme, you will have every opportunity to become the player you want to be.

The programme was designed by former professional tennis players to give future stars the benefit of their skills and experience. However, the programme is not restricted to elite players, as enthusiasts of all levels and ability are welcome to benefit from this unique tennis programme.

Gap Year Tennis Training Programme

The Real Sport Experience Tennis training Academy pays a lot of attention to detail; with an approach to tennis coaching that addresses all the pressures a player faces on and off the court. There will be a strong focus on the tactical, physical and psychological aspects of tennis, with the use of state of the art training equipment and techniques.

Arrival

On arrival, one of our coaches will work with you on a one to one basis to assess your playing style, ability and ambitions in the sport, to set achievable goals for your time at the Academy and beyond. These will be continuously appraised throughout the duration of your stay, with self-assessments at the end of every session. The main reason for this is that tennis is an individual sport, so there is a greater responsibility on the players to cope with pressure and make decisions on their own.

Individual Programme

You will work directly with your coach to develop a customised programme that looks to perfect the strengths of your game and to develop your weaker areas. The aim is to develop your individual style of play and not to manufacture a number of players with the same strokes and match play tactics.

Your overall programme will specifically look at:

  1. Developing your own style
  2. Setting goals and annual plans
  3. Refine your stroke play by assessing your technique and how each shot is used in your style of play
  4. Increased use of match play strategies
  5. The psychology of tennis with the help of the academy's Sports Psychologist

Accommodation and Meals

Accommodation is with a local host-family. This allows you to get to know a bit more about Australian culture first-hand and to have a support network of people while you are in Australia.

The host-family provide breakfast & evening meal each day, with packed lunch.
