About Maja

Maja’s tennis story started at an age of 5. While walking every day near her local tennis courts and watching tennis matches, to asking for her first tennis racket, Maja's exquisite talent and spirit of sport was recognized at an early age by her first coach - her Dad. Soon after winning numerous renowned tennis tournaments in her home country of Croatia, Maja began her professional career as a Junior, and continued her success in Europe and Internationally. Her tennis career was followed by a team of coaches and her family who supported her along the way and from whom she learned the key elements to tennis: humbleness, dedication, patience, and positivity. During these years, Maja had the opportunity to visit numerous countries around the world and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds, many of which are still her friends today. With an injury that paused her professional career, she was pleased by an offer from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where her friend and former European Professional Tennis player established SCAD's first tennis program. SCAD's President Paula Wallace was searching for prestigious athletes and wanted to represent SCAD not only as a No.1 Design School in the USA, but also as the finest USTA Tennis College in the United States. Maja decided to visit the University, and the following year became SCAD's Women Tennis Team Captain. She achieved a historical moment for SCAD by winning the first USTA National Championship Title in 2012. With her warm, joyful and competitive spirit, she became the first SCAD Tennis

Adapting Tennis Lesson Plans for Children When adapting tennis lesson plans for children, it's crucial to keep the lessons fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Here are some key strategies to consider: 1. Shorten Attention Spans: Keep lessons concise: Shorter, more frequent sessions are ideal for young children. Vary activities: Switch between drills, games, and free play to maintain interest. 2. Prioritize Fun and Games: Game-based learning: Incorporate games like "King of the Court" or "Red Light, Green Light" to make practice enjoyable. Positive reinforcement: Use praise and encouragement to build confidence. 3. Simplify Techniques: Break down strokes: Focus on the basic movements and gradually introduce more complex techniques. Use simplified cues: Keep instructions clear and concise, using simple language and visual cues. 4. Adapt Equipment: Smaller courts and lower nets: Reduce the court size and net height to make the game more manageable. Lower-compression balls: Use softer balls that are easier to control. 5. Focus on Fundamental Skills: Basic strokes: Prioritize the development of forehands, backhands, and serves. Footwork: Emphasize proper footwork patterns to improve agility and court coverage. 6. Incorporate Physical Literacy: Balance and coordination drills: Include activities like hopping, skipping, and jumping to enhance overall athleticism. Motor skill development: Focus on hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and reaction time. 7. Create a Positive Learning Environment: Patient and encouraging coaching: Be supportive and understanding of children's mistakes. Fun and inclusive atmosphere: Foster a sense of community and belonging among young players. Example Lesson Plan for Children: Warm-up: Light jogging High-fives around the court Simple stretches (arm circles, leg swings) Skill Development: Forehand mini-tennis: Use smaller rackets and softer balls on a smaller court. Backhand wall-ball: Practice hitting the ball against a wall with a consistent backswing. Serve practice: Toss the ball underhand and focus on hitting the ball over the net. Game: "Red Light, Green Light": Players freeze when the coach says "red light" and run when they hear "green light." The last player to reach the net is out. Cool-down: Static stretches (holding a hamstring stretch, touching toes) Relaxation techniques (deep breathing) By adapting lesson plans in these ways, tennis coaches can create a fun and effective learning experience for children of all ages and abilities.
