The advanced sessions with Coach Amechi are intense and exactly what I needed before my tournaments. We work on strategy, mental focus, and point construction. The coaching is professional, personalized, and result-driven. Highly recommended for serious players.

I’ve been training here for a year, and my serve, backhand, and match play have all improved so much. Coach Amechi challenges us but also makes it fun. It’s helped me become more confident both on and off the court

Tennis is my favorite sport now! I learned how to hit the ball properly and play with other kids. The games are really fun and Coach Amechi always helps me improve in a nice way. I even got to play my first mini-match!
Raj
Starting tennis as a complete beginner was a little intimidating, but Coach Amechi made it so enjoyable. The first few lessons helped me build confidence with clear instruction and fun drills. Now I can rally and even serve! I look forward to every session.

"I’ve played recreationally for a while, but Coach Amechi helped take my game to the next level. My footwork and consistency have improved a lot, and he breaks things down in a way that just clicks. The group sessions are also super motivating.
