We are here to support the best junior players in Berkhire, with emphasis on U8 to U14s, who want to represent the county in team competition at regional and national level.   

Berkshire County Training

Berkshire Performance Team supports and offers  young players aged 7 to 18 years old.   The programme enables the best players in the county to train together on a monthly basis.  We are looking to create and develop strong team spirit and identity across all players involved in training and representing the county in team competition at regional and national levels.  To be considered for selection, players will need to be regularly competing in local tournaments.

There are 3 training centres in Berkshire, Cox Green (Maidenhead),  Reading University Sportspark and Bradfield TC.  Player selections and invitation to attend County Training are sent out by our Performance team. 

• Berkshire Junior Performance Selection Policy (2023)
• Berkshire LTA Unsupervised Children Policy for County Training & Events
• Information for Parents

What is the purpose of this programme:

• To provide regular opportunities for the best players in the county to train and compete with one another
• To accelerate the development of players aged 7-14 to create competition for places at Regional Training & the NAGP
• To retain more young players in regular training and competition through to age 18

What will the programme be like:

• There will be high intensity, fun squad training on monthly basis – the cost  of which will be subsidised by the LTA.
• Players will get opportunities to represent their county as part of a county team.
• County training will be delivered by local coaches who have specialised training and a track record of working with county performance players.
