The Blueprint for British tennis identified a new long term strategy for high performance tennis which was developed in 2007. The aim was to create a sustainable network of high performance clubs, align the approach to player development, establish a network of coaches with the right skills and approaches, embed a new culture of sports science, simplify player funding and ultimately give more players the best opportunities to compete on the international stage.
We now have a tiered network of independently run performance clubs:
These clubs form the backbone of the approach to high performance tennis and support the majority of performance players in GB. The independent performance club infrastructure provides a route for attracting the best coaches to the best facilities and programmes.
As existing contracts are due to expire in 2012 now is a good opportunity to ensure future support more closely reflects the performance of centres and coaches. The timetable for assessment and allocation of support stretches from March this year to October 2012.
