Lawn tennis for children requires a special approach, with attention to age, skill level, and the child’s emotional state. That is why Maxima Tennis Academy in Batumi actively uses the split training format for children — sessions where one coach works with two children at the same time.
This format is suitable for children aged 5 and up and helps combine an individual approach with live game practice while keeping the child interested and motivated.

How Split Training Differs from Other Formats
Split training is a middle option between private and group lessons.
Two young players are on the court, and the coach’s attention is divided almost equally between them. This makes it possible to:
monitor basic technique more closely;
correct mistakes faster;
create a safe and easy-to-understand playing environment.
For a child, this format is often more comfortable than a large group, while also being more dynamic than one-on-one lessons.

Benefits of Split Tennis Training for Children
Personal attention without overload
Each child follows an individual program that takes into account age, physical ability, and experience. Training is held at a calm pace, without pressure.
Technique work through play
Work on technique and stroke development is built through game-based exercises and developmental activities. This helps children learn movements faster and stay interested in training.
A gentle competitive element
Having a partner adds a soft competitive element. Children learn to interact, follow rules, and respond to game situations.
Development of reaction and coordination
Split sessions include reaction drills, ball work, and special training tasks aimed at improving coordination and attention.
