The Travelling Squad was formed in 2010 and since then we have travelled to over 110 international tournaments together ranging from Tennis Europe to Grand Slam events. The squad has given many players the opportunity to compete internationally when they might not have ordinarily been able to do so and has helped a lot of players achieve their goal of playing tennis at an American university.
After spending the last 5 years working with professional players I will be back on the road at junior tournaments from September 2021. We will mainly be travelling to U12 / U14 Tennis Europe events as well as some Ten-Pro tournaments and over the next few years we will progress to U18 ITF events.
One of the main goals for the travelling squad has always been to make it more affordable for players to travel to international events with a coach but one of the most important aspects is that we will also be together as a team. As tennis is such an individual sport, junior players can often feel as though there is a lot of pressure on them when they step out onto the court but, when they are travelling as part of a team with like-minded players and have the support of a coach, things are more relaxed and much more enjoyable.
We will travel in a small team of no more than 6 players to maintain quality and to ensure that each player gets the personal attention they require to maximise their performance in the events we are playing. I will organise all of the travel arrangements, book hotels and take the stress out of preparing for the events. Once at the tournament I will work with the players on and off the court and provide important pre and post match analysis for each match they play. I will also monitor the player’s own fitness programme and provide a full report at the end of the trip to the player, parent and individual / academy coach.
