The Orange Champs is for orange-ball level players that have begun to show correct fundamentals during rallies, capable of serving with a continental grip, and can keep a rally going during point play while also displaying a degree of strategic risk taking. The three hours of daily training consists of 30 minutes of warm-up and footwork training. Then one hour of technical and consistency work broken down into 15-minute of segments of various groundstroke and volley drills. The remaining time will be serves, returns, and point play. Given their age and the midday heat, we will provide a ten-minute break between the technical and point play stages of practice.
