After a successful period in developing the National Academies and the AIS Pro Tour program, which is an on-the-road travelling program, the next step is to further expand and focus on the ongoing development of our younger talent.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the Talent Development Coaches program comes in.

This is measured by athlete participation and performance in national level competition (refer to the application form for detailed criteria).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&gt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/sa\/coaches\/talent-development\/attachment\/talent-development-coach-application-form-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12317 noopener\">Download the Talent Development Coaches application form<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/sa\/coaches\/talent-development\/attachment\/talent-development-coach-application-form_platinum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12316 noopener\">&gt;Download the Platinum Talent Development Coaches application form<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the benefits?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs part of this recognition, there are a wide range of benefits exclusively available to Talent Development Coaches. If successful, you will become part of a passionate and committed team of coaches from across the country who are helping to develop a new generation of internationally competitive tennis players. These players will become Australia\u2019s future champions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why engage the private coaches?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe private coach is a critical component of building the base for the future. One of the many challenges in developing tennis potential is the lack of athletes choosing tennis as their primary sport.<\/p>\n<p>It is Tennis Australia\u2019s objective to increase the number of young athletes choosing tennis and, more importantly, to provide them with a focused program for development.<\/p>\n<p>By recognising and increasing the number of private coaches who focus on developing under 15 year olds, we will be able to provide more resources and a coordinated approach. With this approach, Australia will have increased success in developing players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of Project Talent, Tennis Australia will recognise excellent, passionate coaches who specialise in the development of under 15\u00a0year olds.
