Performance pathway
Accelerate your tennis development
Junior performance pathway
Faster, more effective progress
The Performance Pathway is a comprehensive training program for players who want to accelerate their tennis development. It combines expert coaching, personalised attention and targeted match play.
Unlike group lessons alone, the pathway fast-tracks skill development, building not only technique but also mental toughness, match strategy and overall court performance.
- Accelerated development: Group, squad and match play together mean faster improvement in both technical skills and game strategy.
- Personalised attention: Squad training allows more individualised coaching, focused on each player's needs.
- Holistic growth: Real match experience builds physical and mental skills: handling pressure, decision-making and confidence.
How it works
Three steps to faster progress
Start with group lessons
All players begin with group lessons, which build a solid foundation in key tennis skills.
2Add squad training
For players aiming to progress more quickly. Squads run for Red, Orange, Green, Yellow and Bronze levels and focus on footwork, technique and strategy in a more intensive environment.
3Incorporate match play
Players put their training to the test in competitive settings. Red and Orange level players benefit from our Friday matchplay sessions, applying their skills in real match scenarios.
