Are you ready to take your journey to the next level?

Our full-time performance programme is aimed at players looking to fully commit to their tennis development. We offer a completely bespoke programme with our online education that fits around a player’s training and tournament schedule.

Academy Programme 

Our programme offers a fully integrated, holistic approach to our player’s training. We fully integrate our Tennis with Strength & Conditioning (S&C) to maximise a player’s results on the court.

Each day our players receive up to two 1.5-hour tennis sessions and two 1-hour S&C sessions. A player’s scheduling is bespoke and the expert coaching team will undulate a player’s training loads when it is needed to minimise the risk of injury and overtraining.

Each player will receive 1 individual for both Tennis and S&C per week whilst at the academy. Players will be assigned a personal coach for each individual. During a player’s time at the academy, their personal coach could change depending on their stage of development and needs. Our philosophy is to develop competent, self-aware, problem-solving people. Therefore tennis individuals are not at the forefront of our teaching. However we aim to have a 3:1 player:coach ratio, this ensures the quality of performance training standards is always met and players stick to their goals. In order to maintain the right player-to-coach ratio full-time players are split into two groups based on ability and suitability of training. Unlike conventional academies, we run sessions for 48 weeks of the year. So if you finish a tournament early you will have the chance to work on your game with our coaches.

Tournament Support

During periods of competition, the players have full access to the coaches and the sports science team. The expert team will help to guide players to which tournaments they should be looking to enter. Players are encouraged to enter their own tournaments as this helps them become more accountable for their choices and helps create a dialogue between a coach and a player. Players will also get on-the-road coaching and remote support when a coach is not at a tournament with them. The cost of the full-time programme includes the coach’s salary for a tournament minus the expenses. When players are on the road alone at tournaments besides having full access to the coaches for debriefs, reflections, tactical advice and the next steps to improve their game. Players receive a bespoke fitness plan to maximise their time when on the road at tournaments.
