To ensure you are directed to the right environment for you to access a quality tennis programme, delivered by experienced qualified coaches in good facilities, we are supporting a number of clubs/centres across the country to give you a better chance of training locally to where you live.
If you are over the age of 12, the best venues with world class support can be provided at International High Performance Centres (IHPCs) and High Performance Centres (HPCs) based around the UK.
The structure is:
There are 4 IHPCs and 15 HPCs in Great Britain. These centres are carefully designed to meet the needs of performance juniors providing high-level coaching and fitness programmes and access to top facilities. See below for a list of HPCs
If you are in this age range and a category A player on the player matrix and you are between 12 and 16, you will be part of a targeted group of performance players monitored by LTA National Junior Tennis Coaches.

The National Junior Tennis Coaches will focus on players and their programmes, rather than the HPCs’ performance programmes as a whole, and will split their time into three areas:
If you are under the age of 12, Satellite clubs focus primarily on talent development for up and coming performance players of this age range. Each IHPC and HPC acts as a hub, supporting a network of satellite clubs in its surrounding area.
To help you get involved and get directed to the best coaches & clubs, a dedicated team of Talent and Performance Managers (TPM’s) and Talent and Performance Co-ordinators (TPC’s) are in place across the country to support this structure.
