The academy

How the academy works.

Our own method, a team of coaches and two clubs in Valencia.

  1. The method

    We spot the mistake.We work on it, on court.It becomes your next session.

    This is what we do with you.

  2. We watch

    We see where you slip.

    A coach in a white cap shows the stroke with raised arms to a player watching him, on an indoor court

    We look closely at your strokes and find what’s stopping you from winning more matches.

  3. We explain

    We show you why.

    A coach corrects a player’s stroke, racket in hand

    With our method, stroke by stroke and step by step, until you understand it and feel it in your hand.

  4. We progress

    Each stroke, at its pace.

    A curly-haired player in a green T-shirt tosses the ball with his left hand while holding the racket in his right, on an indoor court

    We go from simple to hard. You don’t move on to the next stroke until the last one works.

  5. You decide

    You play for yourself.

    Two players in white T-shirts smile, rackets in hand, on a glass court at sunset

    You learn to choose well, with a clear head, on every point, so you become an independent player who copes in any match.
