Our mission is to deliver a world class tennis program to our athletes, enabling them to achieve their full potential on and off the court.
Program Components
Our philosophy is based on ensuring our Voyager athletes are continually improving towards defined, shared objectives and goals throughout the elite tennis pathway. We have a systematic approach to goal setting continually benchmarked against the ‘4 key cals’: Techni-cal, Tacti-cal, Psychologi-cal, and Physi-cal development.
Our coaching team is led by Luke Bourgeois, a former ATP Tour Pro and one of Australia’s leading high-performance coaches. Along with having a proven track record developing world-class players, our coaches have all played top level junior tennis, been coached by some of the most experienced international coaches and many have competed on the professional tour.
In addition to our training program, our athletes compete in weekly competitive match play sessions. These vary from practice matches based on key learnings from the week, UTR match play, team-based college matches, in-house competition ladders. The sessions are often filmed for our athletes to review. Â
In partnership with Precision Athletica, one of Australia’s leading High Performance Development centres. Precision’s team of exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionists and physiotherapists design and deliver programs with multiple gym and fitness sessions every week. Our athletes develop skills such as speed, agility, endurance, core stability, strength, power, balance, flexibility, and posture, whilst being able to reduce the chance of short and long-term repetitive injuries.Â
The Tennis Specific Musculoskeletal Screen is designed and delivered by Precision Athletica for Injury Prevention and Performance Enhancement. This provides our athletes with access to the same level of practitioners and high-performance training equipment that professional athletes and Olympians would have access to.
Our partner from Mentally Tough Tennis delivers our psychology program. This provides our athletes with the tools and strategies to take advantage of their physical, technical, and tactical skills in practice and matches. Also provided are tennis parenting workshops, to empower parents to nurture healthy psychological development.
Our athletes have access to video analysis and analytics through our partners at 1-3-5 Tennis Analytics. This is the same level of service that is currently delivered to leading ATP and WTA Tour players. Our video analysis service uses cutting edge technology to highlight areas of strength to build on, and area of focus for improvement.
Our partner Study & Play USA have facilitated millions of dollars of scholarship, delivering customised outcomes for our student-athletes from a broad of range of academic and sporting levels, across all divisions of competition including Ivy League, NCAA, NAIA and Junior College.

In addition to daily feedback throughout the training program, each athlete is provided with detailed reporting twice per year to reflect on progress and reset goals. Some examples of areas used in planning and benchmarking include:
- Anthropometric Measurements: Height, Weight, BMI.Â
- Tournament Performance: Ranking, Results, Match Counts
- Physical Performance: Speed, Strength, Endurance and Agility testing
- Psychological Performance
- Goal Setting and Personalized Tournament Planning
This service is provided at selected events by our team of professional coaches. Our coaches assist our players with professional warm up routines; pre-match tactical discussions, scouting, match analysis and post-match debriefs. This is a vital part of the process in which our expert coaching team assists with the fast tracking of our athletes’ development.Â
- Full-time Academy players train five days a week from Monday to Friday across 4 school terms per year. Our coaching team delivers high intensity training with group coaching covering tactical, technical, physical, and psychological components.Â
- Access players also have the opportunity join our programs at various times throughout the week.
Our academy coaches provide individual attention to assist with technical and tactical development to ensure our athletes have a strong foundation for success. Â

Full Time Academy Program Testimonials
What our Voyagers say about us.
We moved from India to Australia in 2020 with a goal to provide Maahi a better platform of education and tennis. The Mcdonalds College and Voyager Tennis Academy has been the best selection. It has been so very comfortable for Maahi to accept and adapt to the new place and surroundings. We felt very confident that Luke & his team would help Maahi achieve her big dream & goal.
Navigating the sport of tennis as a voyage from starting out as a beginner through to adulthood requires expert guidance and support. Voyager Tennis understands this better than anyone, providing the expertise and support for players and parents alike to maximise their goals through tennis. Together, Voyager and Study & Play USA have built a proud partnership built on shared values such as integrity, honesty, hard work, care and professionalism in order to facilitate the opportunity for a life changing experience along the US collegiate pathway.
We moved to Sydney from Singapore so Ethan could benefit from a program that integrated academics with elite sports training. In the five years we were there, we saw how well that worked. Ethan made huge progress in the sport and achieved his goal of obtaining a Division 1 college scholarship after his time at Voyager. He also won age group and Open titles in Australia and three ITF Junior singles titles. We found the programme’s schedule provided him with a good balance of sport, academic and sufficient rest for his young body. We are huge believers of the Voyager Tennis Academic’s holistic approach to long term development and will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Since joining Voyager Daniel has improved his physical, strategic and mental game thanks to Luke, Andrew and the coaching team at voyager. They are passionate and dedicated about what they do which then motivates Daniel to train to his full potential. The training and facilities they offer is by far the best in Sydney, with an integrated academic and tennis program with McDonald College. We would highly recommend Voyager Tennis Academy to aspiring tennis players.
I really enjoy the daily squads, training with my teammates and the great one on one coaching I get from my coach Luke. We work together on my strengths and more importantly the areas I need to develop. We have the best coaches and amazing facilities. I feel lucky and proud to represent my academy – The Blue Army! Â
I love Voyager because it combines tennis with the school program. I get to play tennis everyday which makes me so happy. I love my coach, Yann – he’s been my coach since I was 4 years old. If you love playing tennis then this is the best academy to be at.
I thoroughly enjoy training everyday at Voyager. All coaches are very encouraging. Andrew and Luke have brought my game to another level and with their coaching expertise my UTR has gone from strength to strength. Not just on the court but off the court they are also great mentors. I’m grateful and thankful for the guidance and training I have received from the team at Voyager Tennis Academy.
