Programmes and what you can learn
Coaching programmes cater to children and adults of all ages and levels, with separate pages for kids' coaching, adults' coaching and an elite academy. Beginners and advanced players are both welcome, and each programme is tailored to the individual's needs and goals. Junior players have their own events, and the academy's aim is a personalised, professional route from first lessons to competition.
The wider approach combines tennis and fitness training with mental conditioning and nutritional guidance, so that players can do well on and off the court. Recent news items cover the Malta Junior Open 2026, the Kulu Marsa Junior Open 2026 and a red and orange ball tournament for younger players that drew large numbers.
Support services
Four support services sit alongside the coaching. Physical training focuses on fitness and injury prevention, with yoga and Pilates techniques to help flexibility and stability, and initial tests that are repeated periodically to track progress. Sports psychology is provided with the sports psychologist Adele Muscat, helping players handle pressure and setbacks.
Sports nutrition is led by the sports nutritionist Gianluca Barbara, who provides structured programmes for energy and performance across a full day of training or competition. Video analysis lets coaches identify strengths and weaknesses and develop tactics. Each service has a request-details option on the website, so you can ask for specifics before you commit to a programme.
