The Future of Tennis Coaching Starts Now — Pre-Sale Now Open

The Modern Tennis Coach Conference pre-sale is now open, offering limited tickets for the February 2026 virtual event. Focusing on player-centered coaching and evidence-informed practices, it aims to shift away from outdated methods. Participants will get access to expert panels, community resources, and exclusive offers, fostering meaningful discussions on effective coaching.

The pre-sale is officially open for the Modern Tennis Coach Conference, and coaches around the world are already grabbing their tickets. With limited pre-sale spots available, now is the time to secure your place for what promises to be one of the most important events in modern tennis coaching.

This virtual conference will take place in February 2026 and is designed to spotlight a major shift happening in our sport — away from outdated techniques and model-based drills, and toward evidence-informed, player-centred coaching approaches grounded in how people actually learn.

Coaching Is Changing — And So Should Conferences

For too long, coaching events have repeated the same messaging — technique perfection, isolated drills, and model-based instruction. But tennis isn’t played in controlled conditions. It’s chaotic, dynamic, and full of decision-making. Coaching needs to reflect that.

This conference is different. It’s built on the foundations of:

  • Ecological psychology
  • Ecological dynamics
  • The constraints-led approach
  • Non-linear, player-first pedagogy

If you’re a coach who’s experimenting with more representative practices, encouraging adaptability, or simply wants to coach in a way that makes more sense for how players learn — this is your kind of event.

A World-Class Line-Up (To Be Revealed Soon)

While we’re not revealing names just yet, we can tell you that the line-up includes:

  • National federation coach developers
  • Performance coaches working at the highest levels of the game
  • Academics and researchers who are shaping the field of skill acquisition
  • Coaches from other sports (like rugby, football, and cricket) who have embraced ecological methods and will share their insights with the tennis world

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be announcing the speakers exclusively via email — so be sure you’re on the list to hear it first.

The five main panel sessions will include deep, honest discussions on questions like:

  • “What actually works in skill acquisition?”
  • “How do we coach without relying on outdated models?”
  • “How do we design practices that truly transfer to match play?”
  • “What does the future of coach education look like?”

And more…

What’s Included with Your Pre-Sale Ticket

Everyone who joins during the pre-sale will get:

  • Full access to all live panels and pre-recorded presentations
  • Lifetime access to the Coaching Circle community
  • Access to monthly Academy Meet-Ups
  • A presenter gift package with bonus content and offers
  • Exclusive discounts from major tennis brands
  • A free eBook of 50 match-focused games and practice ideas (limited to early sign-ups)
