MTM PICKLEBALL

MTM Pickleball Developmental Pathway Program - Bermuda

Emphasizing International Rating Standards
In Bermuda, our DUPR ratings are unique, reflecting our island’s small size and the close-knit nature of our pickleball community. This local rating system, while valuable, can sometimes create a bubble, making it challenging to accurately gauge our players’ levels against the broader, international pickleball standards. Recognizing this, Gavin Manders has undergone specialized training with PPR to become a clinician capable of evaluating players based on these international benchmarks. This approach ensures that our training and development programs prepare athletes not just for local competition but for the global stage, aligning their skills and competencies with worldwide expectations.


Player Assessment and Individual Pathways
During clinics, players will be assessed against these international standards to ensure accurate placement and progression. Individual pathways, tailored by Gavin Manders and his team, focus on guiding players through the nuances of doubles play with the goal of achieving or surpassing the 4.0+ level, as per international benchmarks.

 
This approach underscores our commitment to elevating the skill level of Bermuda’s pickleball players to meet and exceed international standards, fostering a community that is competitive, inclusive, and continuously evolving.

Excellent project that helps discovering young talents and keep us healthy. Professional coaches and staff are doing great job!
Martin Moore
The Bean family would like to thank Gavin and his team, for another job well done. There was a lot of amazing tennis , some great players. Thank you again for honouring Craig, with events, he will never be forgotten. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. 😘
Mrs. Bean
The recent tournaments put on by MTM were great! Not only did they put in place various protocols to ensure the safety of all players and spectators during this time but they also made sure the tournament ran smoothly and effectively for all. I can personally say that the tournament was great for me as I’ve had the opportunity to develop my game training with MTM at their academy sessions which really pushed me and I made it to my first B final which I’m very proud of that achievement. Additionally with everything going on in the world today these tournaments allowed me to play some good tennis and find some ‘light’ as I often tell my family and friends when I’m on the tennis court that is one of my happy places. When you’re at MTM it is definitely a community and family vibe where all are welcomed and promoting positive vibes but also they’re the main drivers of keeping the sport of tennis thriving in Bermuda, which is needed at this time. Thank you MTM for all you’ve done and continue to do, we appreciate you 👍🏽
Nick Butterfield
The MTM tournament has been an awesome experience for my daughter, so much that it inspired my son to get onboard. Gavin and his team have such a passion for the sport of tennis and they work well with the kids. The COVID Championship has been an amazing experience and so well organized..even through the rainy days. My kids absolutely love the tournaments and are looking forward to many more. Thank you for taking the time and patience to give back to the tennis community. Great work MTM team!
Tina Durham
Just wanted to say thank you to yourselves and coaches Tigoh and Tariq. (I’ve probably butchered the spellings) Thank for making Zivah feel so comfortable and raising her excitement about tennis. She comes home everyday talking about the fun times she has with everyone. Zivah has historically hated attending any form of school break camp. She literally begs me not to send her to any. So we usually have family spend time with her at home. She has recently asked if she can attend tennis camp all the time. I am shocked, but grateful. Because that means that she is comfortable with your team and for a child like Zivah who can remain in her shell unless she feels welcomed. That response is even more important than the skills she develops at this stage. So thank you again! Keep up the good work of motivating our kids to have a skills!

Tribute to MTM- Coach Gavin Manders and Coach Jovan Jordan Whitter

Our family's relationship with Gavin Manders spans 10 years. He has coached all 3 of our sons through their formative years- Brandon, now age 20, Ben, now age 17, and Jaden, who is 10. Brandon was the #1 ranked U12 player in 2012, Ben was the #1 ranked U10 player in 2013 and Jaden is an up and coming U12 player. He has coached them throughout his tenure at Tuckers Point and when he took up residence at the Fairmont Southampton Princess under the auspices of his own tennis management company MTM, there was no question that we would follow him there. He has been the National Coach on several trips when Ben represented Bermuda as both an U10 and an U12 player. He has been coach and mentor especially to Ben and now to Jaden. While Brandon has moved on from competitive tennis to competitve football and now to his college career, the life lessons instilled by Gavin of mental toughness, fairness and competitive spirit remain. Gavin has coached Ben with the same tenaciousness, commitment and patience- a kid with innate talent but certainly a different personality and drive from his older brother. And now he also coaches Jaden who has an unwavering fierceness and desire to be a strong competitor. Our relationship with Jovan started more recently, when he was still living and coaching in Boston. We were looking for a tennis coach for Ben to maintain his level of training while on our frequent trips there while Brandon was in school from 2014 to 2018. We were so pleased to learn of his intentions to return to Bermuda and that he would be teaming up with Gavin and would be willing to provide continuity of coaching for Ben. He was also the National coach for one of Ben's trips when he represented Bermuda as a U12 player. He also now coaches Jaden. And both boys have so much to learn from both of these amazing coaches. Since the formation of MTM in 2017, we have seen the program grow and go from strength to strength. It is without doubt the premier youth program in Bermuda. It is a constant presence in the sometimes uncertain and inconsistent world of Bermuda youth tennis. The commitment of Coach Gavin and Coach Jovan to the advancement of youth tennis for all kids with the potential and not just a select few, is unwavering. This all while maintaining their individual competitive tennis careers and more recently juggling the demands of family and children make their contribution all the more valuable and worthwhile. To witness them as they unselfishly pass the mantle and their collective years of experience on to the future of Bermuda tennis in the likes of Tariq Simons, Trey Mallory, Scott Richmond is truly memorable to witness. The recent MTM Covid Championships and Bermuda Covid Open were a testament to Gavin and Jovan's hard work, initiative, resilience and commitment to advancing both adult and youth tennis in Bermuda. The logistics involved with organizing and executing not one but two jam packed week long tournaments in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic shelter in place was no small feat. It was inspiring and provided a much needed boost in everyone's spirits and reopened tennis in Bermuda with a bang. We sincerely hope that they will continue their invaluable contribution to the development of youth tennis in Bermuda for many years to come. Bravo MTM!!!
