The Pre-Initiation Stage is the first stage of development at Sánchez-Casal Academy. Prior to this, the students generally play Afterschool Tennis. The Pre-Initiation stage usually goes from 8 to 9 years old; however, we use age merely as a tentative guideline to place students in the correct developmental group.

ASC Weekly Programs are little extracts of the Annual programs the Academy offers, which are based on the ASC Pyramid.

The players in the pre-initiation stage work on grasping technical concepts. The general aim is to polish their back swing technique from preparation to finishing the shot, and improve the waiting position after performing the split step.
