High Performance Overview

Nau Mai Haere Mai

Welcome to the High Performance section of the Tennis New Zealand website.

The High Performance team facilitate and oversee the development of New Zealand's top tennis players. 

Here you will find all the relevant information you will need if you are an aspiring high performance player, or the parent/caregiver/coach of one.

If you already are a high performance player, here you will find key resources to help you on your tennis journey. 

If You're an Aspiring High Performance Player

If you are an aspiring high performance player, or are the parent/caregiver/coach of one, the best place to start is the Athlete Development Pathway. 

The Athlete Development Pathway document explains the ideal path for a young aspiring player to follow to become a high performance player.

From there, check the Athlete Development Criteria to see the benchmarks required for each level of support offered by Tennis NZ.

A great goal to begin with is to aim for selection into one of our high performance junior training camps. These camps, held for different age groups, are a perfect way to begin your involvement with the Tennis NZ High Performance Programme.

If You're A Current High Performance Player

If you're already involved with the Tennis NZ High Performance programme, check out the High Performance Junior Calendar to see what tournaments are coming up, that you could set your sights on.

There is also the Selection Policies and Tours page for those who want more detail on being selected for our top national opportunities.

Finally the Athlete Wellbeing and Support page has many useful mental health resources that could be of use.
