THE PARKSIDE TENNIS ACADEMY VISION
Our vision is that all players coming to the Parkside Tennis Academy have a chance to reach their potential in the sport of tennis, and beyond in their own lives. Players have different motivators, and finding out what motivates and drives each student is crucial to helping them achieve their best.
We believe that tennis can teach players useful life skills such as how to manage emotions under pressure, how to bounce back from disappointment, the importance of self-reflection and the value of concentration and focus. The Parkside Tennis Academy aims to foster skills which have a positive impact on student’s lives both on and off the court.
The most important thing is that tennis is fun and that players enjoy the sport. We try to make our lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible so that each student fosters a lifelong love of the game.
Here are some specific areas that keeps Parkside Tennis Academy on the cutting edge.

We are working on providing each player with a detailed report on technical aspects of their progress. This is based on Tennis Australia guidelines and helps to determine what to work on in their tennis lessons in the upcoming term.

Movement
While the best players make movement look easy, it is a skill that is often overlooked. Parkside Tennis Academy is dedicated to developing fundamental movement skills that give player's a great athletic foundation for use in tennis and other sports.

Technique
Learning fundamentally sound technique as early as possible is crucial to a player's long term development. We use a combination of structured drill play and gamification to get the most out of our players and ensure they achieve technical proficiency before advancing.

Inner game
At Parkside Tennis Academy we aim to give our players a mental toolkit to use on the tennis court. Teaching basic inner game skills at an early age not only makes the game more enjoyable but is a valuable resource when confronted with the difficult emotions that come with competition tennis. Players can then develop a sense of self-mastery that can extend beyond the tennis court.
