What level of tennis ability is required to enrol into these programmes?
To be accepted onto this programme, participants must have at least intermediate level tennis, but even more important is to have a good aptitude and the desire to improve. For the shorter term programmes it is not necessary to have such a high level of skill but it is recommended that participants play sport regularly and have good physical fitness. It should be taken into account that the coaching in the proficiency academies is very intense and demanding, amounting to around 5 hours a day plus tournaments at the weekends.
