Sunder Iyer

Hon Secretary MSLTA

MSLTA to Launch Vision 2020 program , 111 Players from across state to be part of the programme

Mumbai : 111 boys and girls in the age group of Under 10 to professional tennis players from Maharashtra will be a part of the Vision 2020 program to be launched by country's foremost sports organization Maharashtra State Lawn tennis Association (MSLTA) .

The first of its kind of program will not only benefit players from big cities like Pune and Mumbai but even players from the smallest tennis playing towns in the state .Out of the 111 players , 40 players are from the other districts than Pune and Mumbai.

" We had fair success with the MSLTA vision programme launched in 2010 , 10 players from the state played in the Junior Grand Slams , one player represented India in the Davis Cup while two girls made it to the Indian Fed Cup team “ , however we could only hand hold them till the junior stage , we have not been able to achieve real success once our players reached the professional level said Mr Bharat Oza President of MSLTA and Sunder Iyer Hon Secretary of MSLTA .

We have decided to increase the base of our program and encompass talented children in all age groups, this will help us to build a formidable talented players pool which we will be monitoring on a quarterly basis , they added.

The ELITE PLAYER pyramid program which is the brainchild of Hon Secretary of MSLTA Sunder Iyer , ITF Level 7 Coach Hemant Bendrey , Chief Coach of MSLTA Manoj Vaidya and former President of MSLTA Sharad Kannamwar

We want to ensure we have many more national champions and players who are representing India from Maharashtra in future through The Vision 2020 program Pyramid that we have envisaged added Iyer . . In case some player suddenly does well in rankings he or she will be immediately inducted into the group while those players showing inconsistency will be shunted out of the pro-gram making it competitive .

Said Iyer Medals, trophies, and championships are not things that happen by chance, they happen only when processes are in place that we can nurture and support the growth and development of player's - from grass-root level through to high performance.

The idea of this program is to imbibe fundamental sports skills , Training player to Compete - and help player to reach the pinnacle of tennis using all available science and technology , said Iyer. He added that we want to develop our players into professional athletes using a separate model that incorpo-rates the mental, physical, technical + game strategy, and personal develop-ment.

Some of the features for the players selected for the high performance program would include Physical Conditioning , Mental Training , Sports Vision , Sports Biomechanics , Game Strategy & Game Awareness , Injury Prevention, Video Analysis , Sports Education , Grooming & Etiquette , Parents Mentoring Program , Lifestyle Training and Diet , The other highlight

of the new program apart from training, will include monetary rewards and bonuses for players

Top 8 boys and girls from under-10 age group as per MSLTA rankings and 4 players from the Road to MSLTA program comprising players from the Interiors of the state will be selected in the Promising Kids Program , the next group named Rising Kids will have top two under 10 players from the last year rankings 5 to 8th ranked players from the under 12 players list as per AITA ranking

Top four players in the under 12 category and 5 to 8th ranked under 14 players in the state as per AITA ranking will be selected in the Future Kids Group , while the Young Stars group will feature top four players in the under 14 category and 5- 8 ranked under 16 players

The Challenger Group will include top 4 boys and girls players in the under 16 age group and 5th to 8th ranked players from the u-18 category .

To nurture the Mens and womens players they will form the Elite group where Top 8 Mens and Top 6 Womens players who are ranked in ATP and the AITA rankings will be selected , this players will get Daily Allowances for attending camps and tournaments which will help them to support their tennis expenses on the professional level.

Iyer added that With all the work put in by MSLTA in the last decade , the base is stronger and so are the performances of Maharashtra players at the junior and sub junior players ,our National Champions and Runners up will make up our VISION PROSPECT group .

The criteria for the group has been fixed , those players who are AITA ranked Top 12 players in India in boys & girls u-14 / 16 , or AITA Top 20 players in 1st year of his / her age group , or Top 5 in AITA ranking in previous age group (u-12/14) or National Champions have been included. Under this program Yearly Scholarships, Advanced coaching Camps ( National and international) , Player monitoring & analysis , Advisory on selection of competitions etc will be offered to players by experts .

The VISION program launched in 2010 will be pinnacle of the Pyramid Currently the program has 6 Players who are in the Top 6 rankings in India from u/16, u/18, Mens & Womens category, National champions from u-16 & u-18 .
