Boys & Girls: J5 Bari, Italy - hard (Week 42)


The entire new Stirling high performance, elite academy (barring the couple of youngest players) seems to have gone on a road trip for a tournament in Italy. 

Further details about the academy have been posted previously but as a round-up:   

"The GB National Tennis Academy based at Stirling University has opened its doors to the next generation of British elite players.

The ground-breaking academy is one of two set up by the LTA and eight of the countrys most promising talents are part of the first-year intake."
