Performance Program

The Performance squad program is run after school at multiple sites and gives students a high quality intensive training session that fits around their school commitments during term time.

Voyager’s Performance program provides the complete package covering all aspects of the game:

• On court squad/training sessions covering the 4 cals: Technical, Tactical, Psychological and Physical. These squads are delivered by Voyager’s top coaches and provide a high intensity training environment designed for players to achieve peak performance in tournament play.
• 4 x tennis parenting workshops per year to empower parents to nurture healthy psychological development.
• 8 x sports psychology sessions per year to provide players with tools and strategies to take advantage of their physical, technical, and tactical skills in practice and matches.
• 1 x yearly player planning session assessing a range of components for player success, such as scheduling tournament and match-play; a weekly training plan balancing squad training and private coaching amongst other areas.
• 1 x yearly physical screening, to prevent injury providing players with access to the same level of practitioners and high performance training equipment that an elite athlete would have in preparing for their sport or the next Olympics.
• 1 x Sports nutrition guide and 1 live workshop per year.
• U.S College Guidance (for Year 9 students and above) for those interested in the U.S College pathway to professional tennis.
• 2 x training/match shirts

This comprehensive program has been designed by Voyager’s experienced team to meet the needs of aspiring players, through a holistic approach to player development.

During specific school holidays, we run full day training camps with a focus on preparing our Voyagers with the tactical, psychological and physical needs for tournament play.

There are many benefits to our on-court training environment:

• A competitive peer group pushes players to their limits. Our world-class training environment includes many of Australia’s top ranked junior and senior players.
• Coaching from some of Australia’s best High performance Coaches many who have ex-tour professional experience and have coached some of the best juniors in the world.
• Learn and implement various tactical strategies throughout each session to enhance tournament performances.
• Increased physical fitness through the intense training environment and injury prevention focus to support players to stay in the game for the long-term.
• Increased mental toughness and strategies to use during competition.

In order to gain acceptance into the Performance squads, every player must be:

• Nationally ranked or meet the minimum standard requirements for the particular squad they are interested in attending
• Be willing to work very hard in the intense training environment in every session
• Be positive throughout each session as any unsportsmanlike conduct such as throwing racquets, will not be tolerated
• A team player, listen to their coaches and respect their peers

As this is an environment where everyone is striving to be their best, any player not meeting the behavior standards of these squads will not be invited back.
