The largest project of the last few years has been the establishment of SEB Tallink Tennis Team in 2011.
SEB Tallink Tennis Team is a privately funded non-profit association with a vision of raising world class Estonian tennis players.
The objective for the next five years is to raise at least 3 male and 2 female tennis players with world top 100 rankings, who would be able to compete on the international stage.
The non-profit association aims at creating a professional preparatory system for the best young tennis players and support their participation in international tournaments.
In cooperation with the Estonian Tennis Association the non-profit association is dedicated to helping widen the base of Estonian tennis and raise world class competitive players.
The training activities of the non-profit association are conducted in close cooperation with the personal coaches of the individual players.
The personal coach has a huge role to play in the training of each player. The dedication of the coach is often the stimulating force inspiring the further development of the athlete. The role of the coach is not limited to training and motivating the athlete, he must also set up training plans, including the general physical development and the psychological preparation of the player.
Within the general framework of the training action plan joint training is provided for all members of the combined team, with the specifics and schedules determined by the chief coach of the team together with the personal coaches of the players. The aim of the team training activities is to provide additional training opportunities for the players beside their basic training by involving other foreign coaches, offering general physical and mental training, etc. Changing training partners and training with other good players have a positive influence as well.
The action plan of SEB Tallink Tennis Team includes covering the costs of travelling, accommodation and participation fees of the players to take part in international competitions on the basis of the financing rules for teams A and B.
