High Performance Academy Program

Baseline Tennis Academy has developed a High Performance Academy Program for dedicated junior players aspiring to compete at advanced levels. This is a high-performance pathway combining expert coaching, structured sessions and tournament opportunities, played locally and also across the state on tournament trips. This program focuses on developing well-rounded athletes with skills, resilience and sportsmanship – both on and off the court.

Program Overview

Our Academy Program supports junior players wanting to improve their game and reach their full potential. Through specialised training sessions, juniors work on advanced techniques, fitness, strategy and mental conditioning. The program is structured to offer a progressive pathway, preparing players for competitive tennis at regional, state and national levels.

Core Values

At the heart of our Academy Program are the core values of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness (GEM). We believe these values create a strong foundation, not only for tennis but for life. Academy players are encouraged to display gratitude for the opportunities they have, empathy toward their teammates and mindfulness to stay focused and resilient in challenging situations.

Competition Opportunities

Our Academy Program integrates regular matchplay and competitive fixtures, giving players hands-on experience in a competitive environment. Academy players are encouraged to participate in local tournaments and events, building up to regional and state-level competitions. Baseline Tennis Academy is committed to helping our players gain the exposure and experience they need to excel in competitive tennis.

Pathway to Success

The Academy Program is designed with a long-term vision, supporting young players through every step of their tennis journey. We have created a pathway that fosters growth from grassroots to high-performance levels, allowing our players to remain in Cairns while achieving their tennis goals. Our experienced coaches provide personalised guidance to help each player map out their individual journey toward tennis success.

Travel On Tournament Trips

As part of our High Performance Academy Program, we organise multiple tournament trips each year for our elite athletes, traveling to various regional areas and cities across Queensland. These excursions provide players with invaluable opportunities to compete against the best players in the state, gaining experience and exposure in high-level competitive environments. Beyond the matches, these trips foster a strong sense of camaraderie and team spirit, creating a supportive ‘Team Culture’ that helps our athletes thrive both on and off the court.
