Our philosophy at the AFTC is to provide more than just “tennis lessons”. We believe in providing a holistic environment for juniors to develop long lasting physical and personal habits so they can be role models for future generations. Juniors will learn the correct physical literacy skills to “move like an athlete”, and technical and tactical skill development to confidently progress from one level to another. Our Tennis Canada certified instructors and coaches are continually developing their teaching skills to deliver the latest coaching methods so all juniors can strive to be the best they can.
Quality Standards: All our coaches have completed the Tennis Canada and Tennis Professional Association Quality Standard workshop. Please refer to https://www.tpacanada.com/quality-standards-kids-tennis to find out more about the quality standard program.
Evaluations: SkillShark Our coaches and staff are continuously looking for best practices to add value to our programs. From the fall we will be using a fantastic tool called SkillShark to help our coaches evaluate and monitor your kids skill development throughout the session, from one session to another and from one level to another.
Our written report card we use to do our reports at the end of each session will now be replaced by the SkillShark app. Benefits of using SkillShark are:
Easily provide reports showing skill improvements and identifying areas that require more practice.
Short video clips of before and after each session.
How to do videos to watch
Paperless reports, with more detailed feedback.
Parents will have access to view their kids' evaluations online.
