Win Tennis, Westway is an LTA accredited High Performance Centre located in London and is part of the Westway Development Trust.
The Win Westway programme is very extensive and ranges from a community and schools outreach programme through to a full time academy, and is widely known for its coaching team and players who are of a high quality.
Our entry level consists of “Pay & Play” sessions focusing on those players just starting out in the game and are in need of basic co-ordination, ball skills and a general feel and understanding of tennis. It is also aimed at those players not yet ready to compete. Pay & Play is a drop-in session and is the link between Westway, its community and the schools we are involved with.
The next step on the tennis journey is the Club programme which works on all levels and ages from 4 through to 16 year olds. These sessions are by invitation through the schools and/or Pay & Play sessions or via an assessment, and involve a more competitive structure where there is a tennis related, tactical theme and technical teaching point every session.
Our Performance programme follows a similar structure but the players are asked, and expected to perform more difficult drills than in the Club programme. Players on our Performance programme play in LTA and Middlesex tournaments and are expected to be competing almost every week.
All priority players throughout the programme are given individual goals and schedules. These players are seen by our Strength & Conditioning coach and are given specific exercises and programmes to follow.
Once a player makes the decision to take their game to an international level they become involved in our Academy programme which is for full-time players who train twice a day and are also educated on site. For them, a very specific daily programme is in place which involves heavy loading sessions early in the week and moves towards match play later in the week.
There is also the option of accessing the Academy programme on a part-time basis. This is for players still in full-time school programmes but are still keen on progressing their tennis on a very serious level.
All academy players have individual tennis programmes incorporating tennis specifics, tournament schedules and general life skills, as well as individual strength & conditioning programme. Our strength & conditioning coach works daily with the Academy.
On our books, we have some of the best Mini Red, Orange, Green and performance players in Middlesex as well as players with ATP, international and European rankings within our academy. Our tennis coaching team is extremely passionate about it does and always gives 100% to any player that it works with.
We follow a simple tennis philosophy at Westway and believe that tennis should be accessible to all players at all ages and all playing levels.
