Our Pathway
At Elevate Tennis, we believe in creating a clear and structured pathway for every player - from their very first steps in the game to competing at a national level. Our programmes are designed to support players at each stage of their development, while allowing flexibility for those progressing at a faster rate.
​
-
Aces (Ages 5–8)
The starting point for talented young players who are passionate about tennis. The focus is on developing fundamental skills, movement, and enjoyment of the game.
​
-
Development Squads (Ages 10-14)
For players beginning to compete in interclub tennis. The emphasis is on building strong technique, basic tactics, and confidence in matchplay.
​
-
Challenger Squads (Ages 10-14)
For players competing in interclub and tournaments regularly, with squads more intensive than Development.
​
-
Academy Pathway (Ages 9+)
As players progress, they can move into our Academy programmes (Pre-Academy, Development, Performance, or Performance Plus). Placement depends on their age, ability, and tournament experience.
​
👉 Some players may progress directly from Aces into Pre-Academy if they are competing at a higher level for their age.
