How to Plan an International Tennis Camp in the Netherlands: A Complete Guide
Organising a tennis camp abroad requires careful planning. This step-by-step guide helps academy directors, club managers and coaches plan a successful international tennis camp in the Netherlands.
Taking your tennis group abroad is an incredible opportunity for player development, team bonding and cultural enrichment. But it requires smart planning. Whether you're an academy director, club coach, or parent organiser, this guide walks you through everything you need to know about planning an international tennis camp at NTC Amstelveen. Also read about what makes our facility special.
"A great tennis camp is 50% planning, 50% court time."
Step 1: Define your group's goals
Before booking anything, clarify what your group wants to achieve. A competitive junior squad needs intensive court time and match play. A recreational club group may prioritise fun, variety and cultural experiences. This determines which camp track suits your group best.
- •Performance Camp: for competitive players who want intensive training (4-5 hrs/day)
- •Tennis & Fun Camp: for recreational groups combining tennis with cultural activities
- •Mixed groups possible — we can split into performance and recreational tracks
- •Consider age range, playing level, and fitness levels within the group
Step 2: Timing and logistics
The Netherlands is ideally situated in Western Europe with Schiphol Airport — one of Europe's best-connected hubs — just 10 minutes from NTC Amstelveen. Summer (July-August) offers the best weather for outdoor clay court training, while indoor courts guarantee play regardless of conditions.
- •7 summer weeks available: July and August 2026

Step 3: Accommodation and daily logistics
The 4★ Grand Hotel Amstelveen is located directly on the NTC campus. This eliminates daily transport logistics entirely — players walk from their room to the courts in minutes. The hotel offers double and family rooms, full breakfast, and a restaurant for lunch and dinner.
