Tennis Service
To learn tennis, improve your game, eliminate mistakes – never easier than on holiday!
Our Concept
We offer you this possibility in excellently-equipped tennis schools with first-class facilities in almost all important holiday destinations in Europe. The Sunball training methods of learning by doing are based on the ITF’s (International Tennis Federation) Play & Stay concept, which has also been adopted by the German Tennis Federation (DTB).
Our experienced and mostly full-time coaches are all licensed and specially trained, in accordance with Sunball’s yearlong experience. Methodical practice in variety-filled and action-rich group training with match practice, or alternatively one-on-one training for all player strengths and age groups.
About two-thirds of a session consists of targeted practice, followed by the practical implementation of what has been learned. The fun element is emphasised, and the individuality of each player taken into account. Our motto for advanced training is: “Additional Learning” rather than “Relearning” – building upon a player’s existing abilities.
The courses for children aged 4-12 are based on the successful Champ & Taiger Academy concept, which emphasises the areas of coordination, ball feeling, team spirit and movement. In this way children learn in a playful way with age-appropriate equipment the basics of tennis, while having lots of fun and action.
Our Service
Alongside our training courses we have a comprehensive tennis programme in a professional yet friendly and personal atmosphere.
Tournaments twice a week (singles or doubles, in some clubs for a fee) with champion’s prize and drinks, a short introductory course 1-2 times per week, show matches and stroke demonstrations by the coaches, a selection of test rackets (also for sale) by BABOLAT and WILSON, strings, racket grips, balls and clothing, racket stringing service, information offices for registration, playing partner organisation and advice.
Unique Sunball membership card system! Your playing strengths and weaknesses are saved on this. Your Sunball trainer is thus up to date before your arrival so that you can simply pick up from where you last finished off.
