Since August 2024, LUNTA has become Great Britain’s only National Tennis Academy for elite junior British tennis players, supporting up to 24 players in pursuit of tennis and academic excellence. Our philosophy is centred around providing accelerated progress and where whole chapters of development can be turned, as well as pages.

We are a National Tennis Academy aimed at taking players on their journey to the top of U18 International Tennis and supporting their progress beyond through a quality academic experience, coaching excellence, leading performance support and unrivalled training and competition programmes.
