What Our Players Say
Read experiences from players and parents who train at 359.tennis.
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.
Dmitry Volkov
Expat — adult intermediate group
We started at 359.tennis as complete beginners. We wanted to learn tennis and have a regular weekly family activity. Now we take family group lessons together, and our daughter also trains in her own group. The best part is that it's not just a fun sport, but it truly strengthens our family bond.
Familie Nakamura
Familiegroepsles — samen als gezin tennissen
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.
