The document outlines a participation pathway for developing junior tennis players with 4 stages: Try-ers, Buyers, Flyers, and Hi-Flyers. It describes needs and recommendations for programmes at each stage, including recommended competition structures. The goal is to keep players engaged in the sport by providing different experiences tailored to their skill level and commitment to develop from Try-ers just starting out to Hi-Flyers with high-level competition.
