"DO NOT FOLLOW WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD. GO INSTEAD WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome to Tennis Avenue Academy where anything is truly possible if you believe it strongly enough. We have achieved what has never been achieved before - out of a public park with dilapidated tennis courts (which were only resurfaced in 2020), entirely independently of the LTA and with zero funding.
Over the past decade, we have produced 6 GB No.1 players, and our players have won 16 Tennis Europe and 37 LTA National Grade 1-2 titles. Our girls team won the LTA Team Tennis Premier Division title 3 years in a row, without losing a single match. Jack Pinnington Jones reached the final of the prestigious Longines Future Stars (13&U) at Roland Garros, an event that included Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune, defeating Arthur Cazaux along the way.
This is a better record than most RPDC's, despite them being highly funded by the LTA and systematically fed the very best players in their regions. All of our players started with us at a very young age (mostly between 6-10) and trained exclusively at Tennis Avenue during the above achievements; under the very same coaches who are now coaching our High Performance Squads and the full-time players at Tennis Avenue School (the first and only registered independent school in the country dedicated to elite tennis players).
We don't understand "impossible". It may not be a comfortable ride, but if you're aiming high, buckle up and get on board!
