Hamilton Performance Squads

At Hamilton our coaching programme aims to encourage as many youngsters as possible into the game and to equip them with the knowledge, skills and enthusiasm to achieve their tennis potential.  Click here for coaching information.

In addition, the Performance Squads  are an opportunity for the best players in the area to practise together in a team environment and to achieve at a higher level through greater commitment and higher expectations. At Hamilton the programme is led by Di Burdett, Head of Performance. Within the programme, players are expected to be involved fully  in their own club programme and if possible to receive some individual coaching. Fitness is a key feature of the training programme and new regular fitness tests will enable players to monitor their own levels.

Performance
Performance is about setting a standard which can be achieved through the quality, intensity, work rate and attitude of a good individual player. The committment, enthusiasm and success of individual players will help achieve a good team bond, and lead to a successful programme. The Performance programme is split into three strands with clear Performance Criteria for all Performance players to commit to. 

Competition
This is an increasing area of importance for all players and changes in British Tennis will lead to more opportunities for players to compete both in teams and as individuals to improve their game. Competitions are graded from 7-1, progressing from local club level to county, regional and finally national level and all performance players will be provided with a performance diary to log all their results. Special hoodies, with names on the back, are available for all performance players to buy.
