Our vision is ‘Tennis Opened Up’, and our mission is to transform communities through tennis, focusing on three areas – making tennis welcoming, enjoyable and inspiring to everyone.
The Performance team is an integral part of our mission, playing a crucial role in supporting and developing the current and future elite players of British tennis who can inspire the nation. Our vision is to make Great Britain one of the most respected nations in the world for player development. Our Player Pathway is a strategic approach providing future potential champions a clear route for progression, from Mini Red to major tournament success. The Player Pathway delivers programmes at each stage of the journey, to ensure that the right players are training in the right environment, with the right coaching support.
The 10U National Pathway Coach is responsible for a portfolio of work with players, coaches and programmes in the 10U space of the National Player Pathway in order to identify and develop a pool of players who are inspired, informed and ready to meet the demands of the national stage of the pathway. This role involves driving player development through the provision of excellent support to coaches and key staff across County programmes and the network of development centres.
The application window for this position closes on Friday 4th October.
Interviews will take place in-person at the National Tennis Centre on Wednesday 16th October.
