ABOUT US

As founder and coach of the MVTA, I would like to welcome you to the new academy in Zurich, dedicated to the teaching and development of tennis at all levels. The academy offers customized training programs, individual and group lessons, and opportunities to participate in tournaments and special events. The academy will soon have a highly qualified and passionate team that is committed to providing a challenging, fun, healthy and respectful learning environment. We hope to welcome you soon to the MVTA in Zurich!

MVTA Philosophy

Children, juniors, adults and professionals will have an individual program made exactly to their playing needs and goals. Each player is as unique as his or her potential and the MVTA will give its best effort, experience and knowledge to get to the goal set with the player. Learning the game of tennis while having fun is an essential component of the academy’s philosophy, making lessons interesting through many different drills and games. We are strongly committed to providing a positive, motivating and fun learning environment where players can grow both as athletes and as individuals. In addition, tennis is a sport that one will be able to carry on through age and stay healthy and fit even in later life, always having fun, with friends and acquaintances. Players of all genders, ages, cultures, and orientations are welcome in the academy without exception.

Test training

Our highly qualified instructors conduct an initial assessment to understand each player’s skills, gaps and goals. This allows us to create a personalized training plan that focuses on improving specific areas that need attention. After the careful assessment, the team will give their opinion on the best program to follow and recommendations for improvement in the shortest possible time. The training test will also serve to define the level of play and recognize the ideal group that the player can later be placed in.

Combination of individual and group training

During individual lessons, our instructors work closely with players, providing detailed feedback and specific advice to help them develop their technical, tactical and mental skills. We also encourage players to ask questions and actively participate in the learning process.

In addition to individual lessons, we also offer group lessons where players can interact with and learn from each other. This creates a stimulating environment where players can practice their skills and develop healthy competition.

To have a perfect combination of training, we recommend taking private lessons to improve your level of play and supplement them with group classes where you will test the things you learned during private lessons.
