another great ATA weekend :D

We did it :D
Today we won another Championship. The Norrlands Höst serien was played at Sköns TK and the ATA had 2 teams competing. Team A: Matilda Schulz, Anders Tellberg & Lukas Olofsson came in 3th place while team B: Carl Rehnstrand, Nadja Ydehall and Jack Ydehall took the 1 st place.
The ATA has now 2 Norrlands Champions!

This is a great push not only for the kids but also for us, the coaching team, who have been working hard to make sure the kids develop in the right way. What for a year ago seemed a crazy, risky and adventurous idea, opening a tennis academy, is now blooming. Let this be a source of inspiration for the coming months for us all!

the newspaper came earlier this week to talk to both teams about the meet:

A Great ATA Weekend!

This weekend is going to the books as the most successful for the ATA players yet.
We won 3 out of 3 series in the most impressive manner. We started saturdays Maxi Tennis series with only one one player in the right age -11, the youngest being 7. After a long and nerve breaking meet, the ATA kids won over Hudiksvall by 1 match, 10-9. Later they had a somewhat easier time overcoming Kramfors, a victory that consolidated the number 1 spot.
The ATA Maxi Tennis B team won on sunday in a convincing manner displaying great play against Sundsvalls TK 15-3 & Öviks TK 16-2.

But what was THE most surpringsing victory of all- and the ultimate underdog story- was the Girls 13 win against Hudiksvalls TK & Öviks TK. Isabella Schulz and Nadja Ydehall started the match 1 girl short and were faced against no other option than to play flawless tennis.. and they did!!

I feel like a million dollars B)

training smart..

An article I got by mail just the other day..about children that should not train as small adults.

Interesting indeed, specially when it comes to the general criticism that we have, unfortunately, too many clubs and coaches in the country that do train juniors as little adults. That is why, I am one of the most outspoken supporters of a National Tennis Coaches License.. so that only people with the right knowledge can train our kids, the future of Swedish Tennis!
