Zone Squad - Additional Information
Zone Squads are a part of the Tennis Australia Player Development Pathway which will work to increase participation at the performance level of development by creating more opportunities to more aspiring Australian junior tennis players. This program will also enable Tennis Australia to engage some of the great private coaches we have across Australia as we appoint selected coaches as ‘Zone Coaches’ who will be responsible for the facilitation of these sessions.
For Victoria, we have identified three 12U Regional Zone Squad locations being; Bendigo, Surf Coast & Traralgon. These Regional Zone Squads will be facilitated by our Victorian Zone Squad Coaches. In order to be eligible for this player development program, players must be of age as of June 30th, 2023 (eg a player turning 13 on June 29, 2023 would not be eligible for a 12U Regional Zone Squad). Each Regional Zone Squad will comprise of four (or potentially more) * 2.5 hour training sessions per term, at a player cost of $12.50 per hour. Specifics surrounding each program (location/head coaches) will be communicated once players are selected, with 4 girls & 4 boys being selected based on the region they reside and proximity to the closest Regional Zone Squad.
It is important that you know this squad program is envisioned as an optional addition to your current weekly schedule that you have with your private coach. Should you be selected, it is intended to complement your weekly schedule by providing further on court training, strength and conditioning and match play opportunities.
Lastly, selected players will be invited into the relevant program on Wednesday 7th December.
