Everyball International Academy at Halton Tennis Centre

Ebialogo

The Everyball International Academy is based at Halton Tennis Centre (An LTA High Performance Centre) near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, UK.

'Everyball' is a call to arms, a philosophy to inspire greater effort, deeper practice and improved performance both on and off the court.

As everyball players we fight with our heads, hearts and legs. We make smart decisions and play with purpose and clear intention, we are courageous, resolute and determined, and we have the physical condition to run every last ball down. As performers we seek to live up to our own expectations under pressure, and we understand that our 'potential' is our capacity to develop our skills with effort over time.

As everyball people we seize each day with integrity, courage and creativity. We seek to embrace discomfort and we take each day as an opportunity to grow and improve, meeting head-on the full range of life experience.

Why international? It's our commitment to world class standards

Why academy? We are a place of specialised learning and training

Our ultimate purpose is to educate, motivate and inspire through the power of sport to help you become the best you can be.
