Player Development

Helping juniors grow from club level to competitive tennis — and beyond.

Once players have progressed into our Junior Club program, some choose to take their tennis to the next level. This can involve playing local tournaments across Perth and WA, and for a smaller group, travelling interstate or even overseas to compete at the highest levels.

Our Track Record

We’ve guided many players from beginner stages (UTR 1.0) all the way through to UTR 10+ — and beyond.

Whether your child wants to build confidence in local tournaments or has dreams of playing at national level, we’ve done it before — and we can help guide the way.

Super 10s Program

We’ve produced multiple players who have been selected for the Super 10s, an invite-only squad of the top 16 boys and girls in WA. Reaching this level typically takes at least 3 years of focused development — beginning with passion, followed by technical training and match-play experience.

Tournaments & Competition

We encourage competitive players to enter UTR events and Tennis Australia-sanctioned tournaments. These range from beginner-friendly to state and national-level events.

We also host our own Scarborough UTR events — ideal for experience and ranking growth.

Over the years, our players have:

  • Won 14s Boys Doubles Nationals

  • Been 16s Girls Doubles National runners-up

  • Competed regularly at state and national levels

US College Pathway

Several of our players have gone on to play in the U.S. College Tennis system — often on full or partial scholarships. This pathway offers a unique blend of high-level tennis and continued education.

Our Philosophy

We believe in long-term player development, not rushing the process. We prioritise:

  • Building strong fundamentals

  • Supporting the player’s love for the game

  • Avoiding burnout or overtraining

By focusing on the journey, we give players the best chance for long-term success — on and off the court.
