QUARTERLY FULL TIME PROGRAM
1. DESCRIPTION OF AGENDA
The QUARTERLY FULL TIME 2020-2011 PROGRAM of 4SLAM TENNIS is personalized for every
player according to his/her tennis level. 4SLAM TENNIS works with small and homogeneous
groups of players.
The QUARTERLY PROGRAM consists of: technical and tactical training, and physical
conditioning sessions for five days a week, from Monday to Friday and between 3 and 5
hours a day. It includes planning of tournaments and monitoring of matches by a coach. We
also have the support of a medical team, composed of highly qualified professionals with
years of experience in the training of elite athletes.
The program takes place over three months from the date of the beginning of the training.
During this period, 4SLAM TENNIS METHODOLOGY will be developed, with a special and
individualized analysis in technical aspects, tactical, physical, psychological and medical
condition.
Everyday training in 4SLAM TENNIS is developed in a pleasant atmosphere, with strong
discipline and high intensity training. All players receive educational guidance and rules of
cohabitation and respect, which will help them to be good citizens in the future.
2. REGISTRATION
To settle the registration period, the player will have to pass several tests. During this period
(3 days), which is free of charge, the player will train in the academy and will be subjected
to physical and technical tests to evaluate his/her level. Aspects such as cohabitation and
personality will also be taken into consideration.
In the case of overcoming this period, players will be considered formally enrolled once
the registration form is signed and enrolment fee is paid.
The signing of the registration form implies the acceptance of the general conditions of the
program described in this document, as well as acceptance of the rules of procedure of
4SLAM TENNIS.
3. COMPETITION PROGRAM
The competition program will be carried out between the technical and management staff of
the academy. We consider it vital in the development of our player’s level.
To establish the program, the most important aspects of each player will be taken into
account. Tournaments will be in accordance with player’s level of play, the school calendar,
and so forth.
The program considers the need of travelling to competitions. In this case, the Academy
provides the player with a coach; the player has to pay both its own and the coach’s
expenses (fuel, accommodation, meals, etc.)
In the case that several players are involved, the coach’s expenses will be shared.

each athlete.

physiotherapy and the fitness staff will treat the injury and will draw up a plan to obtain the
player’s recovery.

academy will neither refund the money of the training sessions or accommodation nor reduce
the monthly fee.
6. GENERAL RULES
QUARTERLY PROGRAM 2009-2010 includes the training and supervision by the player’s coach
of the following:
FOOD HABITS
Nutrition is an essential aspect in an athlete’s life, and much more so if the player is in a
formative period. Understanding this concept will ensure the necessary daily calories intake,
in terms of quantity and quality of food, which will be the fuel to face the daily energy
expenses and to recover after the training sessions. Each case can be discussed with the
nutritionist.
RULES OF BEHAVIOUR
All players receive educational guidelines and rules of cohabitation for their performance
inside and outside the tennis court; this will help them to be good athletes and, specially,
men and women of honour.
Each tutor-trainer will be responsible for his/her player’s behaviour and will have the power
to intervene in case of misbehaviour.
