The CCAS, together with Gosford District Tennis Association (GDTA), have developed a pre-elite junior development program, the program includes on court and off court components. The major emphasis is on individual skill development and game sense.
The Head Coach of the program is very excited about the program and said: “The athletes chosen will gain a real competitive advantage over other boys and girls their age. Seven (7) months of skill and game sense training, as well as gym and education sessions will give these athletes an invaluable kick start to their tennis development. I have seen first hand, how a high performance program can pave the way for athletes to reach higher levels of competition, and I’m looking forward to being involved with our first intake of athletes.”
The Central Coast Academy of Sport Tennis Program is a gender neutral program.
