What makes Future Aces' school programmes stand out?
Future Aces’ in-school tennis programme is designed to provide structured, engaging, and high-quality coaching that goes beyond traditional tennis introductions. It is delivered on site at a time that works for your school and your timetable.
Future Aces’ school tennis programmes offer structured, affordable, and high-quality coaching that goes beyond basic tennis introductions. With a focus on long-term skill development, we build on the Tennis Hot Shots model, providing regular coaching, progression-based learning, and strong school-club connections. Led by award-winning coach Andy Wheeler, our flexible, curriculum-aligned sessions cater to all students, ensuring inclusive, engaging, and professionally delivered coaching. Plus, with all equipment provided and affordable pricing, we make tennis accessible for every student, no matter their experience level.
How do Future Aces' school programmes help students achieve their goals?
Future Aces’ school tennis programmes provide students with a structured pathway to develop skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for the game. By integrating progressive coaching methods, personalised feedback, and engaging lessons, we ensure that each student—regardless of their experience level—can set and achieve their individual goals. Whether students are looking to improve coordination and fitness, build foundational tennis skills, or progress toward competitive play, our 8-week structured coaching model offers a clear framework for continuous improvement. Beyond technical skills, we emphasise discipline, perseverance, and teamwork, helping students build valuable life skills that translate both on and off the court. By connecting schools with local club pathways, we also create opportunities for long-term participation, ensuring students can continue their tennis journey beyond school-based coaching.
What kind of support do you offer schools that implement Future Aces' programmes?
Future Aces provides comprehensive support to ensure a seamless and successful tennis programme in schools. We work closely with schools to integrate coaching into timetables with minimal disruption, offering flexible scheduling for in-school, before, lunchtime, or after-school sessions. Our fully equipped programme means schools don’t need tennis facilities—we supply racquets, balls, and portable nets.
We also align our coaching with the Health & Physical Education curriculum, focusing on fundamental movement skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Additionally, we offer regular updates and feedback to teachers, ensuring the programme meets student needs and encourages continued participation. With all coaches being police vetted, first aid trained, and fully insured, we provide a safe, professional, and high-quality learning experience for all students.
"Andy’s commitment to growing tennis in schools is outstanding. His ability to engage students of all abilities, create a fun yet structured learning environment, and provide clear pathways into club tennis has been a game-changer for our school. His professionalism and passion for the sport ensure that every student benefits from his coaching."
