Our Talent Development and Performance Squads cater for both junior and senior players who are committed to competing at a high level\u2014locally, interstate, or internationally.\n\nOur programs develop the complete player, with a strong focus on technical, tactical, physical, and mental performance. The squads are led by Arie Shatar, Tennis Australia High Performance Coach, whose philosophy is built on strong fundamentals and doing the basics exceptionally well. Players are placed in tactical, game-based situations to build court awareness, strengthen key game styles, expose opponents\u2019 weaknesses, and identify and develop their own strengths.\n\nPhysical conditioning is a major component of the program. To compete consistently at a high level, players must be able to sustain quality over time. Our fitness training supports both physical resilience and mental toughness, building strong bodies and confident minds.\n\nMental training is coordinated by Dr Ilan Kogus, Sports Psychologist, who works with players both on and off the court to develop focus, confidence, emotional control, and competitive resilience.\n\nPlayers train using a wide range of high-performance equipment, including medicine balls, reaction balls, lights, speed gates, plyometric tools, and structured strength and conditioning in our purpose-built gym.\n\nOur squad players continue to achieve outstanding results across all levels of competition.\n\nSerious about your tennis?\nGet in touch to learn more about our High Performance Squad programs.<\/li>\n\n\n  <!-- Academy Details -->\n  <div style=\"max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left;\">\n\n    <ul style=\"list-style: disc; padding-left: 20px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6;\">\n      <li>3 sessions per week + monthly UTR Matchplay<\/li>\n      <li>Personalised tournament planning & pathway guidance<\/li>\n      <li>Focus on technical development using world\u2019s best practice methods<\/li>\n      <li>Wednesday & Friday evenings \u2014 Yellow Ball Performance \/ Talent Development<\/li>\n      <li>Tuesday & Thursday afternoons \u2014 Green Ball Performance<\/li>\n      <li>Wednesday 5pm Fitness Sessions (footwork, cardio & functional training)<\/li>\n      <li>Video Analysis included \u2014 detailed term reports for all Academy players<\/li>\n      <li>Flexible attendance \u2014 players can attend 1, 2 or all 3 sessions to suit their schedule<\/li>\n      <li>Full-Time Program available for elite players on professional or US College pathway<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77be063 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77be063\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce0108a\" data-id=\"ce0108a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-522988c elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"522988c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Private Lessons & Video Analysis Block -->\n<div style=\"\n  background-color: #0604FB;\n  padding: 60px 5vw;\n  border-radius: 16px;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: #FFFFFF;\n  max-width: 100%;\n\">\n\n  <h2 style=\"font-size: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; color: #E2FA06;\">Private Lessons & Video Analysis<\/h2>\n\n  <p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto 30px;\">\n    Personalised coaching for players of all levels \u2014 from beginners learning the fundamentals through to tournament players and aspiring professionals.
