” Academy players are chosen on talent and remain in a program based on attitude“

As the Melbourne’s premier Tennis academy, the reputation of our coaching programs is well respected throughout the country and this is the place where tennis becomes serious. In order to protect our brand image and to guarantee a highly motivational environment for our players, our athletes are required to meet standards relating to commitment, performance and behaviour.

- players are asked to attend at least 2 sessions per week and be on court for a minimum of 10 hours/ week in total ( including academy, private coaching and competition). Additional private lessons are strongly recommended for all players.

- competing in 10-15 tournaments annually, comprising at least 5 state tournaments and 2 or 3 national tournaments.

- the overall attitude is also critical and we are looking at a positive attitude towards learning and challenges, to respect other players, the coaches and the overall team spirit within the squad.
