Ultimately, the Bailey Method offers a series of four Intensive Footwork and Movement Clinics that are ideally conducted over a 12-18 mth period and become increasingly personalized, developing and polishing players strengths, building their tournament Playbooks and honing their ability to fluidly strategize under tournament conditions.

The 2 Day Intensive Footwork & Movement Clinics are highly customized, personalized programs, for just 1 - 4 players, working on court with Dave Bailey.
The program commences with a personal analysis of each player's movement on court and then the training is tailored to the player's individual strengths and developmental needs. The program concludes with a video analysis to take home for use in ongoing training.
Each 2 Day Footwork & Movement Clinic includes:
Lead Up – In the lead up to your 2-day clinic, we will send you the Bailey Method Fundamental Footwork Pack (inc. 3 videos and 2 manuals). This video & manual set contains the teaching progressions for the Golden 12 Contact Moves that will be learned over the 2 days. The more familiar you become with the steps, stances, moves and cue words prior to the clinic the more benefit you will gain from the clinic.

Bailey Tennis Footwork private training is all about Dave finding your strengths and developing your movement patterns to ultimately choreograph your unique "Way of Play". The program is very personalized, highly structured and incorporates continual assessment.
Players are introduced to the 5R’s of great tennis footwork and movement, and begin to learn and master the 6 athletic skills of tennis - Hopping, Pivoting, Shifting, Lunging, Transferring and Spinning the hips - combined with the relevant Hitting Stances, Out Steps, Recovery Steps, Direction of Hit, and correct Swing Lines.
Players initially learn the techniques using templates (eg: squares, arrows, discs, cones etc) - but not in a way that you might be used to or have ever seen before – this training is unlike any other!
Once the moves are learned using the templates, players practice with Shadow Tennis and then progress to hitting tennis balls on court to various targets.
Every private training session is 2hrs and includes:
· Outline of lesson objectives (agreed goals and focus for the lesson)
· Baseline assessment (where are we starting from today?)
· Personalized routine training (by end of lesson a complete drill that can be practiced at home)
· Wrap Up
