Fit · Fun · Focus makes visible why someone plays and how they grow.
One practical system to help players, coaches, parents, clubs and events develop further through tennis and sport.
The 359 Method makes tennis development visible: Fit for energy and movement, Fun for enjoyment and connection, Focus for attention, learning and progress. We believe in progress. Not perfection. That is why we are 359 and not 360 degrees: perfection is never the goal. There is always room for improvement, growth and progress. For us, tennis is not just a sport — it is a powerful vehicle to develop people physically, socially and mentally.
Whether you come to stay fit, for enjoyment and the people, or to genuinely grow in your game — every session at 359 is built around three pillars: Fit, Fun and Focus. Recreational or ambitious, you set the goal — we build the route.
- Fit stands for energy, body, movement and load capacity.
- Fun stands for motivation, connection, confidence and enjoyment.
- Focus stands for attention, learning goals, discipline and progress.
Our coaches work with the same development language, so every session contributes to progress — for the player and the person behind the player.

Samenwerking als systeem — meerdere coaches rond één speler
Bij 359.tennis sta je nooit voor één coach. Je staat voor een team.
Bij veel tennisscholen krijgt een speler één vaste coach en blijft daar jarenlang bij. Wij doen dat bewust anders. Binnen 359.tennis werken meerdere coaches sámen rond elke speler — een multidisciplinair team dat overlegt, observeert en bijstuurt.
Waarom dit beter werkt — voor de speler
- ·Meer perspectief. Verschillende coaches zien verschillende dingen. Wat de één mist, ziet de ander.
- ·Geen afhankelijkheid. Een speler hoeft niet te stoppen of opnieuw te beginnen als één coach wegvalt.
- ·Eén methode, meerdere stemmen. Coaches werken volgens Fit · Fun · Focus™ — de aanpak blijft consistent, ook als de coach wisselt.
- ·Snellere ontwikkeling. Wat een speler op maandag oefent, weet de coach op donderdag — geen kennis-gat.
Waarom dit beter werkt — voor de coach
Coaches die alleen werken, ontwikkelen zich trager. Bij 359.tennis leren coaches van elkaar: in wekelijks overleg, door observatie van collega's, en door samen te bouwen aan de methode.
Leren van elkaar
Wekelijks overleg over spelers en aanpak.
Samen sterker
Een team weet meer dan één persoon ooit kan.
Continue groei
Coaches ontwikkelen zich binnen het systeem mee.
Eén coach is een persoon. Een team is een systeem.
Daarom is de 359 Methode geen aanpak van één coach — het is hoe ons hele team werkt.
Proven at the ABN AMRO OPEN
The 359 clinic concept was developed and refined at the ABN AMRO OPEN. 8 days, a new group every 30 minutes. From 10 to 120 participants per session. That demands structure, simplicity, and a system that always works.
