In order for players to be considered for selection and re-selection onto the academy programme, they must demonstrate the desire and ability to consistently meet both the behaviour, commitment and performance standards that will contribute positively to a focused, high energy, competitive and purposeful training environment.

As this is a high performance team environment where everyone is striving to be their best, high standards will be expected at all times in order to maximise development. It will be encouraged for all players and parents to support one another to uphold these standards.

• Accept, reflect and respond positively to all Consequences

Commitment Standards

• Develop tactical, technical, physical and psychological performance
• Commit to regular training and competition in order to achieve aspirations

Performance Standards

Assessment Process

Each player will receive feedback with an end of term report (Autumn, Spring & Summer), reflecting on their behaviour, commitment and progress towards achieving their process and outcome goals.

The selection process for acceptance onto the academy programme will be reviewed on a termly basis, evaluating which players will be accepted onto the programme and carefully selecting the appropriate squads for each player. The decision-making process will be made by Cameron Malik and the Tennis Managers of Warwick Boat Club and David Lloyd Coventry. Players will be prioritised based on their behaviour, commitment, performance and aspirations. Not all criteria weigh the same when making decisions and considerations relating to limiting factors will be taken into account. Players and parents must respect all decisions made and for the avoidance of doubt, there will be no appeals process.
