Our INTRA peak height velocity (PHV) gym programme is designed to focus on movement quality and stability during a phase of growth at which the athlete is undergoing their most rapid change in stature.

It is typically for players aged:

Boys - Under 13-15 years old (& have completed our PRE PHV Programme for 2 cycles = 24 weeks)

Girls - 12-13 years old (& have completed our PRE PHV Programme for 2 cycles = 24 weeks)

If you want to get a more accurate assignment and calculate your current phase of maturation please contact us and we can help you do this and assign the right programme for the current phase of maturation.

On this programme you should aim to master movement quality, balance and control for all exercises. Ticking all these off then look to gradually progress load as the weeks go on.

What you will receive:

12 week programme

3 x 25-40 minute gym sessions per week

1 x On court warm up per week

3 x 4 week blocks

Weekly challenges to maximise engagement and track progression

Improve Stability
With specific exercises to support the development of lower limb and trunk stability this programme leads itself to enhancing athlete ability to maximise movement and power transfer on the court.

Increase Robustness
Our entry level strength exercises will help the athlete improve strength in key positions for tennis as well as aid and increase in muscle and tendon tissue strength and tolerance. With the physical demands of tennis at this age pre-setting a challenge to tissue and joints this in turn can help the athlete cope with the demands of high volume tennis training.

FAQs
Who is the programme for?
At SotoTennis we assign our U14's programme based on maturation measurements. However we know this not always possible remotely so as a guideline we recommend as follows: Girls 12-13 years old. Boys 13-15 years old PLUS 6-12 months gym training experience
How complex are the sessions?
Our sessions are designed to keep things as simple as possible. We suggest if new to strength & conditioning then pay close attention to the videos and instruction initially.
How do I know if have improved?
With the weekly challenges designed to give objective reflection on progress we are confident you will see steady progress over the duration of the programme.
How does the money back guarantee work?
If you do not see any progression on the 4 weekly benchmark challenges by the final block and have performed all the sessions in the 12 week programme then we will be happy to provide you with a full refund. You can contact us through the App for more details following the programme completion.
