Junior Tennis Assessment & Clinics

Every iTUSA program starts here, and none of them skips it: a structured evaluation of the player, before a single objective is written.

The session scores the player stroke by stroke against the iTUSA framework: technique phase by phase, tactical patterns, physical profile and competitive behaviour. Each checkpoint is marked individually, at the assessment and again after the correction cycle.

The output is a documented profile, priorities ranked by what each limitation costs in a match, and a written work plan. It is the entry point to Full Board and to Remote Elite Junior, and it remains usable if the player continues with their own coach.

INSIDE THE ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK

Every Stroke, Broken Into Phases. Every Phase, Into Checkpoints

Nothing is scored on a general impression. Each stroke is opened into its phases, and each phase into precise checkpoints a coach marks one by one.

Phases scored per stroke — plus a separate fitness module.

iTUSA Proven Development Path available for Players, Groups, Clubs and Academies

Most players arrive at a training program without a precise, documented picture of their technical and tactical profile. The Assessment Clinic produces exactly that in a single session: a stroke-by-stroke evaluation, a documented profile, a ranked correction plan and a written work program. A diagnosis rather than an impression — and it keeps its value whatever the family decides next.

Individual Assessment

One player, one session. Full evaluation, documented report, personalised work plan.

Group Clinic

“I also had the benefit of using Rafael's match analysis system in my own coaching work. It played a meaningful role in that player reaching the top ten in the yearly rankings.”

What You Leave With

A clinic does not end when the session does. What is scored on court becomes a documented profile — the first objective picture of where your player really stands, and the starting point every session after it works from.

  • The written reportStroke by stroke, against the iTUSA framework.
  • The ranked prioritiesNot everything at once — what to fix first, and why.
  • The work planDrills and objectives your own coach can run from Monday.
  • The progress reportReturn at the end of the six-week cycle and the same framework scores the player again: what moved, what held, and the next steps of the development plan.

Most families come for a diagnosis. What they leave with is a plan their own coach can start on Monday — and a way to prove, six weeks later, that it worked.

One structured session tells you exactly what your player needs next — and whether Full Board or Remote is the right path.
