The WimX Tennis Academy Program
WimX performance training has few competitors in the British market but our founders shared experience makes WimX the ideal choice for any player who aims high and has aspirations for professional tennis. Our playing and coaching experiences are very different, which leads to a bespoke approach to our training and competition packages.
Almost all performance players start out as part of a our pathway program but when the desire and commitment is shown then a bespoke training program must be put in place. A complete performance tennis program involves individual and shared lessons, hitting sessions, individual S&C and a mixture of squads.
At WimX we try to get the balance of squads right and as such have specific themes to most of our squads. There are a number of types of squad sessions available for performance and intermediate players each following a termly theme.
Full-time Tennis
The full time tennis option can be for players trying to make their way up the junior ranks, people having a year out or preparing for university as well as seasoned professionals trying to improve their WTA and ATP rankings. Although they are referred to as full-time, due to our partnerships these sort of programs can also be combined with GCSEs or A-levels, an undergraduate or masters degree with our partners.
Prices of such professional packages vary especially as we believe in bespoke programming and we always pledge to work to budgets as much as possible. We have four distinct full-time player schemes which you can see here but as a general guideline we believe that a near perfect individual tennis program needn’t cost more than £12,000 per year and many players train effectively on less than £6,500 per year. For tour level players (3.2 rating and higher) WimX also offer a 30 week program for just £3600!
See our Education and Tennis section for more information on combining tennis with studies.
Sport Science Support
The WimX team firmly believe that individual strength & conditioning training and testing is essential for any player to fulfill their potential. That’s why we work hard to keep the costs of such a necessity as low as possible. We are very fortunate to have teamed up wiht UEL to access world class testing facilities and we have five S&C coaches delivering the daily sessions. See our fitness academy more details on the S&C programs.
WimX are also fortunate to have an in-house physio and a injury predictor and prevention screening service. These screenings are available to performance players as stand-alone or part of a package of screening and physio treatment again delivered at a discounted price.
WimX Youth Academy
The WimX Youth Academy is a part of the LTA Performance Club Network, and an integral component of the WimX Academy in terms of growing quality young players from within through the development and transition programs.
Children who demonstrate a passion for tennis, or who show athletic ability or an aptitude for learning, are encouraged to add more sessions to their week and work towards becoming transition players. These players are building their tennis skills and experience to begin competing in tournaments, and progress further to become performance players who are aspiring to explore the many avenues for future involvement in tennis.
