On the court, tennis players are usually alone, but off the court, this should not be the case. Quite the opposite: As part of a team, players can improve their performance more than they can as individuals. Various Swedish, Spanish and other teams have proven this in the past. The BREAKPOINT-BASE in Halle, Westphalia, also follows this philosophy.

 

The base has been home to numerous professionals and young athletes for more than two decades. We are the base where up-and-coming talents train with and learn from top players from the world's elite. We are the base where a whole team of coaches, athletic trainers, doctors and other helpers look after the players. It is the base where the players get a foundation for a life beyond their professional career.

 

When we decided to set up the training base in 1998, it was clear to us that teamwork should be an important element. The success of others is an incentive for the whole team. The players receive support in critical phases of their careers and during matches. The interaction with one another should be characterized by joy, openness and respect. We are looking for players who are willing to improve every day in line with these values.

 

In our base we want to work with players who are determined to develop their potential as athletes and their personality with us. The basic requirements for this are passion for tennis, a high willingness to change and the discipline to implement challenging demands.

 

Individual agreements make it possible for each player to be supported according to his personality, talents and financial means. Players who do not ultimately make the leap into professional tennis also benefit from the work at the base. Many players, for example, realize their dream of a sports scholarship in the USA.
