It stands for 'High Performance Training Academy.'
High Performance means combining Power, Endurance and Strategy to mould a talented, promising player into a competitive athlete.

Endurance - involves working on the player's cardiac output to deliver sustained energy during a competitve match.
Strategy - involves the mental conditioning and planning that is required at the highest competitive level.
Every applicant must attend a paid 'assessment session' which will be graded using a rubric. The results will be recorded, and a report produced and given to you as to the best option for your child at HPTA Middle East. The scores will determine whether your child qualifies for the High Performance program in the relevant sport, or if he/she should join our training programs to better their score and re-sit for the assessment when they are ready.
We are charging the industry standard for 'High Peformance' coaching. It involves hiring the best coaches with previous international experience (ATP/WTA, ICC, NCAA), replacing perishable equipment regularly so the players are exposed to 'tournament conditions' every lesson, and we use state of the art facilities including access to gyms, nutritionists and kinesiology experts for fitness and endurance.
If your child or you do not achieve a passing grade at the assessment, then you are welcome to join our 'Open to all' sessions in the relevant sport.
Regular tournaments will be held at HPTA Middle East, and the winners may be incentivised with scholarships into the High Performance programs (depending on availability).
We believe in levels instead of age limits. Kindly refer to our 'Tennis' page for more details on the different levels.
