Progress your lifting
We are all about MOVEMENT MASTERY on this programme and the child should have a sound base of movement before starting this programme. On this programme we will then take them through the process of transferring this to more complex barbell strength and power development exercises utilised by top tennis athletes.

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 14-16 years old. Boys 14.5 - 17 years old PLUS the child needs to have 18 months gym training experience.
How complex are the sessions?
Our sessions are designed to keep things as simple as possible. However the POST PHV programme utilises more advanced techniques even the child should have 18 month gym experience. Not got this but the right age range? Then consider completing our PRE and INTRA programmes first.
How do I know if I 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.
