Players Pathway
The determination to become the best version of yourself is at the heart of the Performance Pathway. The Player Pathway offers talented athletes the chance to further develop their skills on court, with the ultimate goal of earning selection for a GB Squad.
Every journey on the pathway begins with your home nation: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, or Wales, providing the foundation for growth and progression.
GB Player Pathway
The GB Player Pathway is built upon the strength of the Home Nations and the talent they produce. The pathway aims to continue player development and prepare athletes for the next level of international competition, whether that is GB Men U23 / GB Women U25, or the top end of performance with the Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s GB squads.
The squads for the pathway are collated using information and feedback from the Home Nations coaches and leads, providing an in-depth insight for our coaches to analyse.
