At Play Tennis Academy, led by Luis Palacios, we treat every player like family. Your child won’t be just another number in a crowd; they will be seen, supported, and guided with care, respect, and purpose.
We go beyond tennis skills with our youth tennis coaching. Our programs are designed to foster discipline, teamwork, effort, and positive behaviour, all while ensuring players are having fun and progressing at a pace that’s right for them.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Programs available 1, 2, or 3 times a week, flexible to your needs.
- Recreational programs are divided into two sessions: September to December and January to June, giving families the flexibility to commit by session, not a full year—perfect for balancing other activities.
- Additional small group or private sessions for players seeking more.
- Parents are welcome to watch practices and be part of the process.
- Clear, weekly practice plans shared with families so you always know what your child is working on.
- Positive, challenging, and age-appropriate environments that encourage growth.
- Focus on the whole athlete: physical development, strong mindset, and above all, happiness.
Don’t get lost in the shuffle of large corporate academies where parents are kept at a distance and players can become just one of hundreds.
