Accelerated
6:1 Player-to-Coach Ratio | 2-Hour Classes
Accelerated is the next step for players who are ready for more tennis and want to develop their game at a faster pace.
The longer training format and smaller player-to-coach ratio allow players to spend more time developing proper technique, tennis-specific footwork and movement, rallying, serving, scoring and point play.
Players are also introduced to the competitive side of tennis while continuing to develop in a positive and supportive environment.
Accelerated is the primary pathway into our Elite program. Coaches continually assess player development and may recommend players for an Elite trial when they demonstrate the appropriate skills and readiness.
Focus: Technique • Footwork • Rallying • Scoring • Point Play • Competitive Introduction
Pathway: Recreation → Accelerated → Elite
How Players Progress
Our pathway is designed to allow every player to develop at the pace that is right for them. Age and ball colour provide general guidelines, but placement is also based on playing ability, experience, physical development and overall readiness.
Coaches continually assess players throughout the season. When a player appears ready for the next level, a coach may recommend a trial in the next program. Following the trial, Head Start will determine the most appropriate placement and provide the family with available options.

Players do not always have to follow the pathway at the same pace.
