British Universities

At Tennis Smart, we believe in creating pathways for every British junior tennis player.

In continuing our commitment to the goal in stopping the 50% drop out rate of British juniors, we have teamed up with British universities. Tennis Smart realizes the Pro Tour and/or the American university route does not suit everyone. Tennis Smart is proud to announce its partnership with British universities.

As an advocate for the British university system, Tennis Smart is also here to help British juniors who are not ready to go pro and are not interested in moving abroad.

Tennis Smart is thrilled to join forces with many British universities whose tennis programs are not only well-established, but offer a magnificent environment for student-athletes to develop as tennis players as well as adults.
