We want to develop and deliver a world class performance system so that no matter your background or resources, we can deliver opportunities for all players who have ambitions for a career in our game. Whether that is as a player with ambitions for the very top of the world game, or whether that is as a coach, a volunteer or an official.

In summary, we want to see more people playing across clubs and pay as you go facilities. We want to see more quality facilities and world class workforce development and coaching. We want to see an all year-round sport in our communities with tennis a major or leading player in our communities in terms of community access to facilities. We want to see more Scottish players succeeding at the very top of the game in juniors and on the ATP and WTA tours and we want an ambitious confident organisation working with all to create growth and investment to ensure a sustainable and healthy future for Scottish Tennis.
