Tennis-n-Education

One of the dilemmas facing the majority of families is, "What is the correct balance between too much tennis and not enough education or not enough time on court because of the hours being spent in the classroom."

Because of the complexities and diversity in the education process and the varying requirements of each individual, LifeTime International has appointed a Director of Education Studies with the qualifications and experience to develop an education scenario for each family's situation.

Diane Stickler is a qualified teacher with almost twenty years' experience in both the private and state school systems as well as TAFE and English Language Study courses.

Whether you are of primary or secondary school age, are an international student with little command of the English language or have just completed year twelve, Diane can advise you of the options available and develop an education program that complements the tennis program developed by LifeTime's Director of Tennis. Both programs will give you an opportunity to become the "Best You Can Be" with both your tennis career and life after tennis.

To organise an appointment with Diane or her friendly staff you can email LifeTime Tennis or phone the office on 1300 30 15 30.

American College Scholarships

Each year a number of American Colleges and Universities recruit talented players to play for their teams in the American College Tennis system. The players attend school for half of each day and train in the afternoons. The teams play against other colleges on the weekends, similar to the GPS. or QGSSSA competition in Queensland.

Tertiary Courses at Universities

A number of players have been able to juggle their commitments in the classrooms and on the practise court and have finished year 12 with a high OP score. Because of this they wish to maximize their "after tennis" career opportunities and still pursue their dream of playing at Wimbledon one day. University Courses are a lot more flexible today than they used to be and there are a number of options available including studying on-line and taking fewer subjects in the earlier years.

Tennis Excellence Program

LifeTime's Tennis Excellence Program is a program that provides tennis training during school time as part of a player's education. The program was developed as a response to concerns from tennis parents that players could not train for the number of hours required on court and go to school from 8am to 4pm daily.

Year 11 & 12 Over Three Years

Players about to commence year 11 at their chosen school have an option of spreading their year 11 and 12 over a three year period. This will give you more time to train on court.
