With 359Training with direction and a fitting next step
With the 359 Method and Fit · Fun · Focus, we build visible progress — as a player and as a person. Not just enjoyable lessons, but lessons that truly contribute to growth: technical, mental and social. You're not investing in a tennis lesson — you're investing in skills that last a lifetime. At 359, you don't follow isolated sessions — you follow a structured approach to development.
Since 2005, we've been developing players and people at the NTC in Amstelveen — through our unique 359 Development System: Fit · Fun · Focus™. Everyone who believes in progress is welcome.
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.
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.
Familie Djie
Academy & Kids — development at every level
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
Returning player after 15 years — Wednesday evening group
We have three children playing tennis at 359 — ages 6 to 14. Each child has their own path and coach. What connects us is Sunday afternoon family tennis. It's become our family moment.
