Train with purpose, compete with confidence.
Evolve Performance Squads is our highest-level junior program, for players with the technique, the drive, and the readiness to take their game into competition.
This is a squad environment built around match play at Ocean Ridge Tennis Club, with the tactical pressure and standards needed to compete in Tennis West pennants. Most players come through Yellow Stage. The same coach runs both programs and will recommend the move when the time is right.
New to Evolve? Start with a free trial and we'll go from there. Entry is by coach recommendation only. Not ready for competition pressure? Yellow Stage is our recreational program for the same age group. Full courts, real coaching, without the competitive stakes. Learn more about Yellow Stage junior tennis.
Squad Readiness
Are they ready for squads?
Evolve Performance Squads is for players who have developed solid technique and match-play experience, typically through Hot Shots Green, Yellow Stage, or equivalent. Age and stage aren't the deciding factors. Readiness is.
What to expect
Competitive match play, every session.
Forget gentle rallying and games-based warm-ups. Squad sessions are built around match-based drills, live point play and pressure scenarios that mirror real competition conditions. Ninety minutes: technique, tactical application, then competitive match play.
Groups are kept to five or six players per court. Individual attention within a high-standard environment. Every player in the room has earned their place.
What a term looks like
A different challenge each week.
The same eight-week framework used across all Evolve junior programs, applied at squad level with competitive readiness as the standard throughout.
Competition pathway
Train hard. Then go and do it for real.
Squad training builds the skills. Pennant competition is where players use them. Evolve's affiliation with Tennis West and the WA Tennis League gives squad-ready players a direct entry point into local fixtures against players from other clubs.
