Cultiv8 Tennis
Cultiv8 – About us
Cultiv8 Tennis provides high-performance coaching services for junior
and full-time tennis players. With
extensive experience of developing players at all stages of the tennis journey
CV8 understands the holistic nature of player development and the importance of
developing the person as well as the player.
The CV8 mission at Queens is to develop a transparent development
pathway to increase opportunities and standards within the Club. We recognise that players (junior and adults) have different
motivations for playing the game and we want to be able to understand these and
deliver appropriate provision for all club members. It is imperative that a
pathway is made explicit so everyone has the opportunity for progression and
enjoyment.

Junior Programme
LTA Youth Programmes & Cultiv8 Kids
At Cultiv8 we recognise the importance of creating fun and engaging ways for
learning. As part of our mission we are keen to instil a love of physical
activity, health and well-being in children from a young age that lasts a
lifetime. To help us do this we combine our own Cultiv8 Kids Programme with the
new LTA youth Programme to underpin our session content and delivery. In doing
this we are able to deliver a comprehensive and innovative coaching programme
that will help to make tennis more relevant, accessible, welcoming and
enjoyable for more kids. Sessions are fun, dynamic and provide children with a
sense of progression and a clear pathway for development.
Red: Learn The Basics (Age 4-6) Serve, Rally and Score (Age 6-8)
This is an introduction to tennis. Here, we help kids improve their balance, agility and co-ordination while teaching
them about the sport we love. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing,
it’s just getting to grips with the basics.
As players progress it will start to look a bit more like the tennis you know. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and
volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination,
balance and speed. We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too.
Orange: Develop a Rounded Game (Age 8-9)
Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage
children will know all of the rules and will be serving and returning in
matches.
Green: Test Your Skills (Age 9-10)
This is the big one. It’s time for kids to play on full size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning
and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far.
Yellow: Take Your Skills Further (Age 10+)
Time to find your game. Playing on a full size court with the same size balls the pros use, kids will continue to explore
different styles on the court, and start to choose their own. Our Yellow ball
sessions are split into the following groups: Beginner, Improver &
Advanced.
Junior Full Ball Invitational Sessions
(Age 10 +)
These sessions are for players aged 10 and above who are training regularly throughout the week and taking part in
competitions. Players will be invited to join these sessions directly by a
coach. Please do not book on to this session without a prior discussion with
one of our coaching team.
Senior Programme
The Cultiv8 coaching programme includes
Adult Beginner Sessions and Improver / Advanced sessions, along with Cardio
Tennis Sessions, Tennis Specific Conditioning and Social Tennis.
Adult Beginner Sessions
These sessions are designed for beginners
and will really help players to learn the basic techniques of tennis and
progress their game to the next level. Each session will build upon the
previous one, enabling players to develop their technique on all shots and
combine these with the tactics to be able to play a match effectively.
Adult Improver / Intermediate Session:
This session is aimed at adults who have played tennis before and who have a level of competency across the game but are
still looking to learn, progress and develop. This session will help adults to
get back into tennis if they have previously played but been out of the game for a while, appeal to others who may be looking to develop their technique further or to those who want to just play more and meet new players.
Tennis Conditioning:
This session is similar to a circuit style training class where players will move round different stations to exercise. The circuit will include tennis specific exercises to help condition
the body to enhance tennis strokes, movement patterns and efficiency. The
session will combine tennis instruction and coaching with a more
fitness-focused approach for those who want to train all aspects of their
‘tennis fitness’ in one session.
Cardio Tennis
Cardio Tennis is a fun, sociable group fitness class with a tennis twist. This tennis workout is open to anyone – all
ages and abilities! Great music, great cardio and great people – what’s not to like? You’ll get to hit lots of tennis balls during your class, build up your skills and work up a sweat. You might be wondering, “is tennis good exercise?”
– the short answer is yes! Tennis offers a great workout from a cardio fitness perspective as well as working out muscles across your body, from your core to your glutes. Each class is an hour long, with a short warm-up, a 40-minute full
body workout, and a cool down.
