Junior Academy & Junior High Performance Academy
Junior Academy
The Junior Academy programme is for County, Regional and National-level juniors (aged 10-16) who are dedicated to improve their tennis. The programme recognises that most players will still require “full-time” formal education, but will nevertheless need an intensive, flexible and personalised tennis and fitness programme. Junior Academy runs 2 evening sessions per day 5 days a week, which run from 4.45 p.m till 8.30 p.m. to allow for educational commitments. Each session is 90 minutes of tennis and 45 minutes of strength and conditioning.
Junior High Performance Academy
Junior High Performance Academy is a highly intensive programme for Regional, National and International juniors (aged 10 – 16). Players are selected from applicants with a high playing level and commitment. The programme will be individualized to each player linked to their educational needs and include group tennis sessions and individual work 6 days per week, alongside personalized strength and conditioning programmes.
