Why parents and players choose 359
A structured development approach, certified coaches and premium facilities — so every lesson helps you improve as a player, and leave with more energy, enjoyment and confidence.
Development comes first
Every lesson is part of a broader development path. Not just technique — but confidence, discipline and growth that goes beyond the court.
Structured progression per phase
Each age group follows its own programme with clear goals. From first steps to competitive level — every phase has its own approach.
Coaches within one system
All coaches work within the 359 Coach System — a quality structure that ensures consistent, development-focused coaching across every group.
Training with visible progress
The exercise is not the starting point; the player's progress is. An exercise format may deliberately return with a different balance, challenge or personal point of attention.
Your development — as a player and as a person
That is why every 359 lesson has two goals: one shared tennis goal and one personal development goal. For example, rallying and working together, serving and dealing with mistakes, or footwork and concentration.
Within that shared lesson structure, our coaches adapt the pace, challenge and feedback to what the player needs.
With Fit · Fun · Focus, we balance movement, enjoyment and purposeful learning. That is how you make progress as a player and as a person — matched to your level, motivation and goals.
Tennis is the means. Development is the goal.
From method to visible progress
The facilities to grow
Progress requires the right environment. The National Tennis Centre in Amstelveen offers everything you need — 12 indoor courts and 14 outdoor courts, all year round. No membership needed for indoor. Outdoor lessons for members of TV De Kegel.
What Our Players Say
Read experiences from players and parents who train at 359.tennis.
For over 10 years, we've been taking tennis lessons at 359.tennis and playing Saturday afternoon competition at TV De Kegel. We're a fun group of friends in the 50+ category. It's wonderful to be socially and athletically active together. The combination of lessons and competition truly keeps us together as a team.
Petra Versluys
Adults — competition team Saturday afternoon
Bram had his first trial lesson last month and I was immediately convinced. The coach gave him a high-five afterwards and told him exactly what he did well. No pressure, just enthusiasm. We signed up for the full season right away.
Ingrid Thomassen
Mother of Bram (7) — just started
As a family, we've been playing tennis with great enjoyment at 359.tennis for years. Two of our children follow the Academy and KNLTB Intake program, two are in the regular kids and juniors lessons. We also take group and private lessons ourselves. The training sessions are energetic, professional, and keep us feeling fit and vital.
