Our Academy

Wigmore runs a large performance programme, designed to stretch the most committed and able junior players. There are three different strands: Our mini tennis academy; our junior tennis academy; and our junior squads.

Entry into the programme is by invitation-only, and players must fulfil additonal criteria depending on which section of the performance programme they are part of. 

Our performance programme runs on a not for profit basis, ensuring we provide access to the best possible coaching in the most affordable way possible.

In addition to the term time training, we are also running some Academy Training Camps during the school holidays. These are intensive 2 hour sessions, designed to keep their development on-track during the holidays, and to complement their tournament play. These training camps are open to all players in the mini green academy, the junior academy and the junior squads. You can book these academy training camps here

 

Mini Tennis Academy

JTennis launched a successful Mini Tennis Academy at Wigmore Tennis Club in September 2015. Since it began, our academy players have competed regularly in Surrey and beyond in LTA sanctioned tournaments, winning several titles along the way. The Mini Tennis Academy is by invitation-only (you can contact us if you wish to arrange a trial). You can find out more, including the criteria required for consideration here.

For the summer term 2017, the Mini Tennis Academy runs at the following times:

Red Academy Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 5pm-6.30pm BOOK NOW
Orange Academy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 5pm-6.30pm BOOK NOW
Green Academy Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (6pm) 5pm-6.30pm BOOK NOW

 

The package is for training twice per week (a total of 3 hours). Once you have booked via the link above, you must e-mail us as soon as possible to let us know your two preferred days. While we will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferences, places are limited, and will be first come, first served.

Don't forget that Mini Tennis Academy players should be competing regularly. Check out our competition pages for more information. Mini Green players should also be signing up for our 2-hour training camps during school holidays, and are also invited to participate in our Wigmore Tennis Tour to the South West of England in October 2017, a first taste of life as a touring tennis player!

Junior Tennis Academy

In 2016 we launched our academy for junior players aged 11+. The academy is aimed at players who are committed to their tennis, and are training and competing regularly. Players are offered training at the club up to 8 hours per week, and must commit to at least 4 hours per week. We hope that our junior academy players will go on to reach regional level at a minimum. The academy runs at the following times:

Mondays 5pm-7pm, Tuesdays 6pm-8pm, Wednesdays 5pm-7pm, Thursdays 5pm-7pm.

4 hour package (choice of 2 days) BOOK YOUR ACADEMY SPACE
6 hour package (choice of 3 days) BOOK YOUR ACADEMY SPACE
8 hour package (4 days: Monday-Thursday) BOOK YOUR ACADEMY SPACE

The 8 hour package is for training four times per week (Monday-Thursday). If you have booked the 4 or the 6 hour package via the links above, you must e-mail us as soon as possible to let us know your two/three preferred days. While we will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferences, places are limited, and will be first come, first served.

Don't forget that Junior Academy players should also be signing up for our 2-hour training camps during school holidays, and are also invited to participate in our Wigmore Tennis Tour to the South West of England in October 2017, a first taste of life as a touring tennis player!

Junior Tennis Squads

Our squads aim to bridge the gap between our regular group coaching programme and our junior tennis academy. Squads are by invitation-only, based on a player's current standard. We hope that many of our squad players will opt to attend two squads per week, although a once weekly option is also available. Our squads run at the following times:

Tuesdays 5pm-6.30pm, Wednesdays 5pm-6.30pm, Thursdays 5pm-6.30pm, Saturdays 5pm-6.30pm

1.5 hour package (choice of 1 day) BOOK YOUR SQUAD SPACE
3 hour package (choice of 2 days) BOOK YOUR SQUAD SPACE
4.5 hour package (choice of 3 days) BOOK YOUR SQUAD SPACE

The 6 hour package is for training four times per week (Tue, Wed, Thu and Sat). If you have booked one of the smaller packages via the links above, you must e-mail us as soon as possible to let us know your one/two/three preferred days. While we will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferences, places are limited, and will be first come, first served.

Squad players should also be signing up for our 2-hour training camps during school holidays, and are also invited to participate in our Wigmore Tennis Tour to the South West of England in October 2017, a first taste of life as a touring tennis player!
