The Pre-Initiation Stage is the first stage in the Emilio Sánchez Academy. Prior to this stage, the students generally play Afterschool Tennis. The Pre-Initiation stage usually goes from 8 to 9 years old; however, we use age merely as a tentative guideline to place students in the correct development stage.

Our Weekly Programs are little extracts of the Annual programs the tennis academy offers, which are based on the ES Academy Pyramid©.

The players in the pre-initiation stage work on grasping technical concepts. The general aim is to polish their back swing technique from preparation to finishing the shot, and improve the waiting position after doing the split step.

General objectives of the stage

Footwork, balance and coordination are essential at this stage, as the exercises become more advanced. The players begin rallying with each other without the participation of the coach.

Players start to participate in basic competitions, with age-appropriate rules.

Specific objectives

  • Technical

    • Introduction to proper positioning before and after hitting.
    • Practice movements in all directions, i.e. forward, backward, lateral and diagonal.
    • Introduction to the serve.

  • Tactical

    • Begin rallying with other players.
    • Begin playing in the service box and steadily progress back from the net, deeper towards the baseline.

  • Athlete body

    • Play games to learn how to slide from side to side.
    • Practice standing on one foot for a set period of time.
    • Jump over small hurdles and land in a good tennis position.

  • Athlete mind

    • Encourage a task-oriented, not result-oriented, climate.

Tournaments and travelling team

  • A personalized program is created to include local, regional, national and international tournaments throughout the year (The academy also hosts several international tournaments throughout the year).
  • Assistance from our coaches of the Travelling Team is offered during all these tournaments.

ES Academy Training System©

  • The ES Academy Training System© is unique in the world. Designed by Emilio Sánchez Vicario, it is based on four core pillars: technical, tactical, physical and mental.
  • Each of these four pillars is developed intensively, and each is tailored to the player’s stage, which depends on age, physical condition and tennis level. The stages are reflected in the ES Academy Development Pyramid©, and range from the initiation stage to the elite stage.
  • In the area of sports science, the program includes all services on site that the player may need, such as physical training, nutrition, sports psychology, and physiotherapy.
  • The ES Academy Training System© includes the ES Academy Athlete Mind System: an on-court and off-court mental coaching system with the mental and tennis coaches working together.
