9U
Welcome to performance tennis!
Your first experience within the performance space of your tennis journey could be within this age group. This particular age group serves as the introductory phase within our Player Pathway as part of the Regional Performance stage. County Training starts at 8U, and so our 9U activity acts as a natural progression for the best players within the regions.
National Coaches
We have five 10U National Pathway Coaches covering different regions and player bases across the UK. You will most likely to see them at National Competition; get to know them a little more below.

Favourite tennis moment A long and unusual chain of events led me to this, but being in Boris Becker’s (my childhood hero) front room of his house in Wimbledon talking to him about all things tennis, including my worship of him as a little boy
We would hope that all young tennis players looking to progress would aspire to be invited to our Regional Performance Camps, and aim to be a regular competitor in National Competition.
