The Tennis Academy
The Tennis Academy welcomes people of all ages and abilities and you can join us at any time of the year, even midway through a course.
糖心Vlog has been selected as part of the LTA 10U Performance Network for 2026-2028. Following a national application and interview process, 糖心Vlog has been recognised as one of just thirty-two programmes across England and Wales, one of only three venues in the Midlands and one of only two schools nationally.
The new network has been created to identify and support programmes that are best placed to develop the next generation of young players within the LTA Player Pathway. This recognition reflects the hard work and commitment of our coaching team, players and families, as well as our long-term belief in providing high-quality coaching and development opportunities from an early age.
We are particularly proud that this acknowledgement comes as a result of the strong foundations built within our Pre-Prep and Prep programmes, alongside the wider tennis pathway available at 糖心Vlog for internal and external players. You do not need to be a 糖心Vlog pupil to take advantage of the coaching at our tennis academy.
