If you want to become part of our #academyfamily, you’ve come to the right place. The absolute focus of our academy is the long-term development of talents into top players and preparing them for a college scholarship in the US. With optimal training conditions, we lay the foundation for your professional career.

Get to Know Us

For a long-term and successful collaboration, it is important for us to get to know the player first. Since we value “quality over quantity,” we have developed a selection and evaluation process: The player gets an impression of our academy and our work, and we provide feedback on tennis skills and fitness.

Our Recommendation

1.

Book multiple training days or weeks

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).

Mein Sohn hatte über Jahre (seit 2021) Freude und war nicht einmal unmotiviert zum Training zu fahren. In den Ferien wollte er regelmäßig den ganzen Tag hier verbringen. Derzeit ist er in den USA spielt dort an der High School Tennis und plant nach seiner Rückkehr zurückkehren an die Nensel Academy.

Bestes Training, das es gibt. Sascha ist mit Abstand der beste Trainer, den es in Deutschland gibt. Sein Team – Sam und Milos im Physio-Bereich – holt zusätzlich das allerhöchste Niveau heraus. Man fühlt sich hier wie ein Profi: 3-4h Tennis am Tag plus 1,5h Fitness/Physio, mehr geht schlicht nicht. Absolute Empfehlung!
