Tennis

Tennis rackets and balls are included in the course fee, but you’re welcome to bring your own equipment if you prefer. All courses are held indoors in Hall A at Frescati Sports Center. Please note that the court is not a traditional tennis court; the flooring is designed for multiple sports, causing the balls to bounce slightly faster.
Frescati Sports Center is conveniently located near the University subway station at Svante Arrhenius väg 4.

Each group meets for 8 sessions, with each session lasting 60 minutes.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for full range of motion and make sure to use shoes with light-colored soles to avoid leaving rubber marks on our floors. Changing rooms with showers are available on-site.

Our training sessions are co-ed, welcoming participants of all genders. Please note that our courses are for adults only, so participants must be 18 or older.

Remember that everybody developes in different capacity, meaning that sometimes you need to stay in the same level for more than 8 trainings to be able to move on to the next level.

Level 1
You get to learn the basics of the game.

Prerequisites:
No previous knowledge required.

Level 2
Level 2 is for those of you who have learned the most basic basics of the game but still feel like you have a lot to develop before you can hold a match on your own. Unlike level 1, we assume that you have previous experience when joining level 2, either by attending our beginner’s group (Level 1) or by playing on your own and thereby learning the basics of the game.

Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of forehand and backhand. Should be able to switch grips confidently. Basic understanding of how to move on the court.

Level 3
Level 3 is the level for you who have played a period with our level 2 group or for you who have played Tennis before and already attended one or more courses elsewhere. The difference between this level and level 2 is that we assume that you already know the basics and game technique so you can focus on working with tactics in more game-based exercises. Of course, we also work on refining the technique and developing the strokes.

Prerequisites:
Should be comfortable playing 10-20 shots with another player and start a point with a serve.

Level 4
Level 4 is a level for you who have taken level 3 for a period or have played tennis for several years elsewhere. As in level 3, the focus is on honing the technique and tactics. We aim to be able to raise the tempo and keep an active game going with like-minded people.

Prerequisites:
Should be comfortable playing shots at different heights and directions. Should be able to serve and return comfortably.

Level 5
Level 5 is the level for you who are a good player and master all parts of the game. You who play here are driven by getting better, getting relevant exercises and technique tips and you think it’s fun to have the chance to play with like-minded people.

Prerequisites:
Should be able to control the ball and aim for targets. Have a good understanding of strategy and consistency in all hits.
