We believe in progress. Not perfection.
That is why we are 359, 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, but a powerful way to develop people — physically, socially and mentally.
Whether you come to stay fit, for the enjoyment and the people, or to truly grow 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 · Fun · Focus. Part of the 359 Method, structured around Fit, Fun and Focus. makes that growth visible and structured.
Progress. Not Perfection.
Vision
Tennis is an ideal sport for personal development. Every rally, challenge and session creates room for growth — as a player and as a person.
Mission
We build that growth through a holistic approach: balance between Body, Heart & Mind. In practice, we do this through Fit · Fun · Focus™.
Ambition
From tennis lessons to visible progress. Not just learning to play better, but growing in energy, enjoyment, focus and confidence.
The three pillars
Every session at 359.tennis is built according to the 359 Method. We develop not only tennis skills, but also the person behind the player. Our coaches work with the same development language, so every lesson contributes to progress.
Fit (Body)
Physical development, motor skills, coordination and energy. A strong and energetic body is the foundation for moving more freely, playing better and enjoying the game more.
Fun (Heart)
Enjoyment, motivation, connection and teamwork. Sport only truly works when people feel safe, enjoy themselves and want to keep coming back.
Focus (Mind)
Attention, concentration, decision-making, analysis and reflection. Mental skills that help you on court — and beyond.
What Our Players Say
Read experiences from players and parents who train at 359.tennis.
Our whole family plays at 359. The kids train on Saturday morning, and my wife and I joined the adult group. It's become our shared hobby in the Netherlands. The coaches speak English and the international atmosphere makes us feel right at home.
Chen Wei & Lin
Expat family — kids + adult program
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.
Lisa Mulder
Herintreder na 15 jaar — woensdagavondgroep
I tried three different tennis schools around Amsterdam before finding 359. The difference is night and day — structured lessons with a clear progression plan, not just hitting balls back and forth. My game has improved more in six months here than in two years elsewhere.
