Who is the Junior program suited to?
We believe that a clear player development pathway is essential for all players regardless of their starting level. In conjunction with enjoying the game of tennis and exercising for physical and mental well being, it’s also important to have intermittent goals to progress with your game.
Players from the ages of 12-18yrs+ of all standards, including beginners, intermediate, advanced / performance players are encouraged to join a coaching program suited to your level.
Even if you’ve never hit a ball before, we’d love to get you started, we love welcoming new beginners!
WHAT’S A UTR?
A UTR Rating (Universal Tennis Rating) is a number that provides a real and accurate measurement of skill level. A player's UTR Rating is a number between 1.00 and 16.50.
The coaching team will match your playing level (UTR) with the most appropriate program for you. If you are a beginner and don’t have a UTR - no problem! Beginners are perfect for our Junior Development Squad.
Player Pathway:
Junior squads focus on offering technical, tactical and fundamental motor skill progressions relevant to the level of squad. These skills are built as the player progresses through the development pathway. A key ingredient in the squads is also the social element of team play, interacting with others and developing in a team environment.
