At Every Level
EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
What Is Our Difference?
WHAT DO WE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD?
We work with players of all levels, from a boy who just started tennis at the age of 3, to playing tennis for his hobby, from seeking success in national tournaments to tennis players who are candidates to be pros. This is a job that requires experience and expertise, and we have a team of coaches to meet the developmental needs of your child, no matter what age and level your child is.
- At Optimum Tennis Academy, your child will learn and progress easily with the movements he uses in his normal life, instead of complex technical knowledge with the Natural Movement-Based education method.
- In strategy-based training, he will not only learn the basic and special strokes of tennis, but also acquire the emotional and mental skills required to win matches.
- He will receive the best physical training possible with the work carried out by our 6-person conditioner staff, who are an integral part of our every training and are experts in tennis conditioning.
- With our modular training plan, they will know what to do in order to move up to the next level, and will receive training at the level they deserve as a result of concrete evaluations.
- Thanks to our scholarship system, they will be entitled to a tuition discount as long as they reach the determined goals.
- When he or she goes to tournaments, a coach will be with him as the tournament coach. They will support the necessary adjustments during the tournament, monitor the match and keep a detailed match analysis. With this data, the training program will be reshaped according to the needs, if necessary.
