359 Coach System

Become a development coach within the 359 Method.

The first group of the official 359 Coach System is being formed now. For coaches who want to move players of every age and level forward — and themselves too.

The 359 Coach Education is a selective development programme in Amstelveen for tennis coaches who want to become development coaches: coaches who move players forward at every level and age through Fit · Fun · Focus™. You pre-register below with your experience, background and motivation. We select on quality and fit — not everyone is admitted.

This is not an open enrolment

Limited places — selection on experience, background and motivation

We start as soon as the first group is complete

Not everyone is admitted — and that is exactly the point

But: every coach who fits gets a real chance to learn and grow

Who we are looking for: the development coach

At 359, development coach is not a job title but an attitude. You love developing people — players of all ages and levels, and yourself.

The best part of coaching, for you, is seeing someone grow

You enjoy working with a seven-year-old beginner as much as with an ambitious junior or an adult who wants to get fitter

You want to keep learning — feedback, peer review and reflection are not a punishment

You think in development, not only in technique or results

What does it mean to become a 359 Coach?

You may officially call yourself a 359 Coach

You work from the 359 Method and vision

You join a network of coaches who grow together

You get a clear development path towards more impact and leadership

For coaches who want to mean more

Many coaches teach players a forehand or a backhand. The 359 Coach System goes further.

Here you learn not only to teach better, but to see better: who is standing in front of you? What does this person need? What drives them? Which balance of Fit, Fun and Focus™ actually helps? That makes you a better coach — and more valuable to players, parents, clubs and organisations.

Frequently asked questions

What is a development coach at 359?

A development coach focuses on the development of the player — at every level and age — and on their own development as a coach. Technique is a means; progress is the goal.

Do I need a KNLTB licence for the 359 Coach Education?

A KNLTB, ITF or PTR licence is a strong advantage but not an absolute requirement. Experience, mindset and motivation weigh just as heavily in the selection.

What does the 359 Coach Education cost and when does it start?

The first group is being formed now. Coaches who pass the selection personally receive the start date, structure and conditions.

Is everyone admitted?

No. We select on experience, background and motivation. Coaches who do not fit right away are kept informed about a next group.
