Active Bolton Arena serves as the LTA’s Regional Player Development Centre (RPDC) for the North West. Our performance squads are for gifted players looking to optimise their tennis potential between the ages of 10 and 14 years.

Players receive a bespoke weekly training programme comprising of daily squad sessions, strength and conditioning sessions, and individual lessons – accompanied with an expectation to compete at a national and international level within their age groups.

The coaching team is fully invested in developing young individuals into successful tennis players. We take a ‘person first’ approach to equip our players with the resilience, leadership, and accountability they will need not only in tennis but in everyday life.

Junior Squad Program

Active Bolton Arena Tennis Academy performance squads offer an intense and enjoyable training environment with similar standard players, under the guidance of our performance coaching team. All sessions have a combined strength and conditioning attached, where the players will focus on ‘tennis-specific’ fitness training. We welcome players from external venues to join the performance strand of the academy and are always happy to work with their individual coach to get the best out of the individual. For more information on the squad program, please email: tennis@activebolton.com.
