Employing the latest coaching methods....
The McCraw Method & The Bailey Method
Peter McCraw is one of the world’s leading experts on player development. His knowledge of the games is second to none and he has worked with many of the top names in the game including Maria Sharapova, Jelena Jankovic and Tommy Haas. Peter travels the world working with young players and coaches and we are pleased to have had the opportunity to attend some of Peter’s workshops which have been superb. We now base much of our technical input on Peter’s methods.
These methods are based on identifying a player’s individual ‘dominances’, through some simple on court tests. Knowing a players dominances helps in determining the specific techniques and grips that players should utilise in order to optimise their full potential.
These combined with the footwork patterns, contact moves and balance moves of another Australian, David Bailey (www.thebailymethod.com) develop a player’s all around technical base and together with a competitive approach to drills and match play
