At Athletic Heroes, we know that coaching solid strokes is only half the picture. To build a resilient, court-ready athlete, young players need explosive footwork, core strength, and the physical confidence to keep improving every day. When you focus on getting faster, stronger, and more flexible, everything on the court naturally falls into place.

“I am really enjoying Hernan course so far. Have loved how its tennis specific. I can really feel the difference between this type of lunge and take off compared to a regular lunge that any gym training person would do. Highly recommend anyone who is wanting to perform better in tennis or even improve their overall fitness.”

Frequently Asked
Questions

In tennis, we spend heaps of time on technique and tactics—but if the body can’t move into position quickly and balance properly, even the best strokes fall apart. Physical training builds the engine behind the swing. By developing fast footwork, core stability, and flexibility, young players prevent injuries, hit with more natural power, and get to balls they used to miss. Simply put: strong, fast movement makes learning tennis technique way easier and much more fun.

It’s designed specifically for junior tennis players aged 6 to 14. Whether your child is just starting out or already competing, the training adapts to help them build solid footwork, speed, strength, and confidence on court.

You get full access to our web app, which breaks training down into easy 8-week blocks. It focuses on the “Ability 5s” Strength, Speed, Suppleness, Skill, and Stamina. Kids follow simple video cues, log their workouts, and take fun assessments to unlock Bronze through Platinum levels.

No app store download needed! Athletic Heroes is a web app. You can open it instantly on any phone, tablet, or laptop browser. You can even tap “Add to Home Screen” on your phone so it works just like a regular app.

After completing their sets, kids log their best score directly inside the app. At the end of each 8-week block, they do a quick fitness assessment to retest their levels and earn their next medal badge.

Absolutely. You can log in anytime to view their progress dashboard, check their logged workouts, and see how they are advancing through the levels.

Right now, each young athlete needs their own profile so their training logs and achievement levels stay personal to them. However, we’re working on a multi-child family dashboard so you can switch between siblings under one login soon!

We keep pricing simple and accessible for families. You can view our current membership plans directly when you sign up, there are no long-term locked-in contracts, and you can cancel anytime.
