About us
359 is built on one idea: tennis is the medium, development is the goal.
We are a premium tennis school and development environment where players learn to move, enjoy the game and grow at their own level.
Since 2005, 359.tennis has been the professional tennis school at the National Tennis Centre (NTC) in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. What started as a local tennis school grew into an organisation with its own method, multiple programmes and partnerships across the Netherlands.
Our drive is simple: we believe tennis is more than scoring points. It's about discipline, joy, confidence and growth — on and off the court.

359.tennis is a professional tennis school at the National Tennis Centre (NTC) in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam, founded in 2005. Through the 359 Method — Fit · Fun · Focus™ — we combine sport with personal development for players of all ages.

20++ years of development
From a single coach at Amstelpark Tennis in Amsterdam to a professional tennis school at NTC Amstelveen. Thousands of lessons, hundreds of players and our own method later — the story of 359.tennis is one of growth, passion and ambition.
The 359 Method was born from that same practical experience: not conceived in theory, but built with coaches, experts and players on the court. Read the story of Roland Laurense, founder of 359.tennis and developer of the 359 Method.

What players and parents say
Read experiences from players and parents who train at 359.tennis.
I hadn't played tennis for 15 years and was afraid I'd have to start from scratch. But the coach saw there was still a foundation and polished it up. After three months I was playing competition again. The barrier to come back is lower than you think.

Herintreder na 15 jaar — woensdagavondgroep
We organised a corporate sports day at 359 for 60 colleagues. The team handled everything from catering coordination to grouping people by skill level. Even colleagues who had never held a racket had a fantastic time. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

We started at 359.tennis as complete beginners. We wanted to learn tennis and have a regular weekly family activity. Now we take family group lessons together, and our daughter also trains in her own group. The best part is that it's not just a fun sport, but it truly strengthens our family bond.
