Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process to become a permanent academy player?
Since we prioritize quality over quantity, we have a proven selection process: First, you book training days for a mutual introduction. Following detailed feedback from our coaches and if both parties are convinced, we hold an on-site meeting to discuss and finalize a contract for a long-term collaboration.
What is the difference between training for "Starters" and "Young Professionals"?
The training structure is based on age and skill level. While the focus for “Starters” (from approx. 12 years) is on basics and technique, the emphasis for “Young Professionals” (from approx. 16 years) shifts toward tactics, athleticism, and mental strength.
What is the training volume for full-time players?
From the “International High Performer” level (approx. 14 to 16 years) onward, the training includes at least 8 tennis sessions (1.5 hours each) and 4 fitness sessions (1 hour each) per week. We guarantee maximum intensity by having a maximum of two players on the court with one coach.
Are tournament schedules created individually for the players?
Absolutely. Every academy player receives individual support and a tailor-made tournament schedule. Depending on the performance level, we plan and accompany appearances at regional, national, and international tournaments – including TE (Tennis Europe), ITF Juniors, or ITF Seniors (Futures).
Learn. Fight. Win.
We look forward to meeting you!
