Satellite clubs focus on the development of players under the age of 12. These centres are key to the development of tennis in Britain as they are responsible for developing up and coming young players and feeding them into the High Performance Centres (HPCs) across the country.
Satellite clubs are required to meet a number of set criteria. Some examples include:
In total more than £1.1million was distributed across the satellite club network during 2008, which is made up of over 160 clubs in England, Scotland and Wales. This includes funding from the National Sports Foundation which is being provided to clubs in England, specifically to develop Mini Tennis programmes.
From amongst the satellite clubs, a select number have been chosen as HPC Links because of their proven track record of developing players and strong player base. These clubs link in closely with the HPC’s.
