The Academy

At the Dutch Tennis Academy, we believe sport should be both fun and rewarding. Our mission is to make tennis and padel accessible, enjoyable, and effective for everyone, whether you’re picking up a racket for the very first time or striving to take your game to the next level.

With a team of former players and years of professional coaching experience, our team brings not only expertise but also a passion for teaching. We know that every player is different, which is why we design personalised lessons built around your goals, strengths, and pace of learning.

For your convenience, we bring the game directly to you, coaching at your own location, or welcome you to one of our venues in Dubai. Wherever you choose to play, our focus remains the same: clear guidance, motivating sessions, and steady progress.

Our training philosophy is built around the 4 core pillars of development: 

• Technical

We break down each stroke from start to finish using scientific principles rooted in biomechanics and physics. Players learn the how behind every shot, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and long-term injury prevention.

• Tactical

We train players to make smart decisions on court, where to play the ball based on their own strengths and their opponent’s weaknesses. Understanding timing, court positioning, and shot selection minimizes errors and maximizes effectiveness.

• Mental

Tennis is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. We guide players to manage their emotions, stay composed under pressure, and develop a resilient mindset. This helps build the character needed to enjoy the game at every level.

• Physical

Speed, balance, agility, hand-eye coordination, breathing, and endurance all play a vital role in a player’s performance. We build these skills progressively to help athletes become fitter and fully prepared for the demands of the game.

Above all, we want every lesson to feel engaging and rewarding, helping you build confidence, improve your skills, and truly enjoy the game.
