About our academy squads
Bolton Arena Tennis Academy performance squads offer an intense and enjoyable training environment with similar standard players, under the guidance of our experienced performance coaching team. All sessions include strength and conditioning sessions (S&C), where the players will focus on ‘tennis-specific’ fitness training. We welcome players from external venues to join the performance strand of the academy and are always happy to work with their individual coach to get the best out of the individual. Each age group in the pathway has the option to choose two squads per week with our senior coaching team. Our mission is to give players the chance to follow their dreams of one day becoming part of the full-time academy and becoming a professional tennis player, as so many have over the years, thanks to what is now Bolton Arena.
