INTERNATIONAL COACH WEBINAR

RED BALL, REAL IMPACT: LESSONS FROM THE US ON ADULT RED BALL TENNIS (Karl Davies, USA)

ABOUT TODAY'S WEBINAR TOPIC

Adult Red Ball tennis was chosen because it consistently solved a problem many coaches face: how to help adults start, enjoy, and stay in the game without unnecessary pressure. Over several years of development at the USTA, this model proved that simple modifications can transform adult learning, confidence, and engagement. This webinar shares why Adult Red Ball matters, what it has revealed about coaching adults, and why these lessons are relevant to coaches worldwide. Coaches will explore practical principles from Adult Red Ball that can be applied immediately to adult programs in any setting or culture.
