PERFORMANCE PATHWAY

TOPs offers our Performance Pathway with a mission to provide a high standard training environment for junior tennis players who love the game and are willing to advance in the competitive tennis journey through a pathway from Red Performance to High Performance level.

Our Performance program is designed for dedicated players who are committed to competing at high levels of junior tennis. Each group provides a structured pathway based on ranking, skill level, and competitive goals. Players must demonstrate a high level of discipline, fitness, technical skill and participate regularly in sanctioned tournament and match play. For many yellow ball players, our Yellow Ball 3 & 4 Levels are a better fit based on their current level or time availability and are looking to improve their game.
