The 10is Adult Development System™
Many adult tennis lessons focus on technique first. "Correct techniques" are enforced. Forehands are adjusted. Drills are repeated. Yet when the match begins, many players still feel unsure about what to do next. Tennis is not decided by technique alone.
It is also decided by decisions. Where to place the ball. When to attack. When to defend. How to build pressure during a rally.
The 10is Adult Development System™ is our structured pathway designed to help adult players understand the game and progress from their first rally to confident match play.
The system draws inspiration from some of the most respected coaching influences in professional tennis.
• the competitive discipline developed through the work of Toni Nadal
• the world-leading doubles expertise of Louis Cayer
• the tactical clarity seen in the coaching approach behind Novak Djokovic
These influences shape how we teach the game: structured, thoughtful and built around real match situations.
No previous tennis experience is required to start with us. Players are placed in the stage that best fits their level.

The Adult Coaching Pathway
Adult players arrive at tennis for many different reasons.
Some are picking up a racket for the first time.
Others are returning after years away from the sport.
Some already compete and want clearer tactical understanding.
The pathway allows players to progress step by step.
Beginner Tennis
The 5-3-9 Framework™
Beginner players learn tennis through real game situations rather than isolated technique.
5 game situations
3 intentions
9 decisions
This framework helps players quickly understand how rallies work and how points are constructed.
Players learn:
• how points begin
• how rallies develop
• how to make simple decisions during play
→ Discover Beginner Coaching
Intermediate Coaching
The Relentless Pressure System™
The intermediate programme is inspired by the training philosophy associated with Toni Nadal, where players learn to build pressure and control rallies rather than simply reacting to the ball.
Players develop:
• rally tolerance
• point construction
• positional awareness
• controlled aggression
Instead of simply returning the ball, players learn how to shape the rally.
