Overview
The High Performance Camp offers advanced players a fun but challenging programme that simulates an elite tennis environment — up to 24 hours a week of coaching and match play on Radley College's brand-new Poraflex acrylic courts.
It's aimed at players who already compete regularly. Newer or developing players are better suited to the all-abilities camp at Bradfield College.

Where campers stay
Campers live in Radley's boarding houses around the main school buildings — a historic school founded in 1847 in over 800 acres of grounds near Oxford. At Radley every camper has a single bedroom, with shared bathrooms; rooms are allocated by sport, age, gender and room-share requests. On site: a hybrid astro hockey pitch plus two more pitches, Poraflex acrylic tennis courts, a full-size indoor basketball court, a players' lounge, free Wi-Fi and laundry; the athletics track, 25 m pool and indoor sports centre can be used when available.
Meals
Three meals a day plus an evening snack, served in the school's dining hall, with vegetarian options at every meal. Most dietary requirements can be catered for if you let us know in advance.

Frequently asked questions
What level does my child need to be?
This is the advanced programme — it suits players already competing at club or tournament level. The age range is 10–17, but the operator hasn't published a minimum standard, so we'll check your child's level with the camp before you book.
Can my child stay for two weeks?
Yes. Each camp week is 6 nights, arriving on a Monday and leaving on the Sunday, and any two consecutive weeks can be combined into a 13-night stay — campers stay on site over the middle weekend. The 2027 two-week price hasn't been published yet — in 2026 it was exactly double the one-week price. We'll confirm it when you enquire.
What's the difference between Total Tennis and Tennis + English?
The coaching is identical — up to 24 hours a week either way. Total Tennis adds up to 8 hours a week of sport workshops (things like nutrition, teamwork, goal-setting and match analysis); Tennis + English swaps those for up to 13 hours of English lessons built around the sport. If your child's English is still basic, the English option is the one we'd suggest.
How do we get there?
Fly into London Heathrow or Gatwick. The camp runs shared airport transfers on arrival and departure days as an optional extra — £140 on the 2027 price list, or £170 with the unaccompanied-minor service, booked after registration. Flights aren't included.
Who looks after the kids?
Welfare staff are on site 24/7 alongside the coaches, there's on-site medical care, and travel insurance is included in the price.
Can they get one-to-one coaching?
Yes — optional 1-to-1 Pro Sessions with a camp coach can be added for £125 each (2027 price). Places are limited, so it's worth asking early.
