Frequently asked questions about trial tennis lessons
Does 359 offer trial tennis lessons?
Yes. At 359, a trial lesson is a short 10-week starter programme, never one standalone introduction lesson. This lets you experience the coaching, group and Fit · Fun · Focus™ and decide whether tennis suits you. You are also welcome to watch a lesson at the NTC in Amstelveen first.
Why a programme instead of one trial lesson?
Tennis is learned through repetition. Across 10 lesson weeks you build technique, ball feel and confidence step by step — and you can judge for yourself whether it suits you. That is a fairer trial than a single session.
Can I come and watch first?
Yes. You are welcome to watch a lesson at the NTC, Bovenkerkerweg 81 in Amstelveen. Email [email protected] and we will suggest a moment that matches your age and level.
Who is this for?
Children (Tennis Kids), juniors and adults — complete beginners as well as players returning after a break. We place everyone by age, level and availability.
Do I need my own racket?
No. Free loan rackets are available during group lessons for all START groups (kids, juniors and adults) and all RED groups. Sports shoes and sportswear are enough.
Do I need a club membership?
Indoor tennis lessons at the NTC require no membership. Outdoor lessons at TV De Kegel do require membership of the club.
