Wimbledon training is directed by Sarah Goldson, who has held the role since 2012. Approximately 280 ball boys/girls (BBGs) are selected from around 1500 applicants, with 170 from Years 9 and 10 and 110 from recall applications (i.e. BBGs who have been accepted at one of the last two Championships). Approximate ratio of boys/girls is 50/50.

It is not possible to access the registration/application process prior to that and we will only accept new applications from those schools invited to participate and those recalls who are eligible to reapply.
