Joük Fundamental Tennis Program
Most starter lessons fit into the “fundamentals” stage. This stage happens anywhere people are introduced to the game: in parks, at community courts and school gyms. The fundamentals Program is designed to build a solid foundation for future success and promote enjoyment and improvement.
Joük uses a system of modified courts, racquets and balls scaled to maximize learning for different levels and/or age groups. Just like many other sports (e.g. Mini-soccer, T-Ball, etc.), scaling the game down to the size of the child speeds up the learning process and makes the game more fun.
The learn to play program identifies four skill sets required to play tennis successfully. These are called the “I Can” skill sets.
These skill sets all follow the Progressive Tennis system. Each colour coded stage of development has 2 levels of achievement.
In addition to the 4 “I Can” skill sets, players are also exposed to “I am a Good Sport” behaviours. These include:
Hug the racquet when the Instructor is talking
Cooperate with a partner
Pick up balls quickly
Shake hands after each game
Keep score out loud
Make clear and fair line calls
Compliment an opponent after a good shot
