The recent entrants to the top 100 of the ATP/WTA rankings were competing at the highest possible international level at 12 & under. Get Ready! has been designed by Tennis First Trustee and professional coach Suzi Riley to increase the standard and number of British juniors starting out on their international tennis journey and to prepare them for a lifetime in tennis.

Tennis First partners with carefully selected tennis centres across the UK to deliver high quality 10U performance programmes, offering extensive support from consultants in coaching, strength & conditioning, medicine, psychology and nutrition.

Helen Parish - Joint Head Coach Billericay Lawn Tennis Club:

As a result of the detailed individualized feedback for our players and the support provided for our programme and coaches, we have already seen an increase in players competing and performing well at National Grade 1 and 2 level in the 10U space since starting our Get Ready! Programme. Being involved with Get Ready! is something we are very proud of at Billericay LTC and we are confident that our programme will continue to develop and produce internationally-relevant competitors through this partnership.”
