TESTIMONIALS
We have been at Futures Tennis Academy for more than 6 years now and we still love it. The coaches are terrific with children, kids develop the correct techniques from the beginning and they are taught all aspects of the game. I would recommend this academy to any child that wants to learn how to play tennis.
Our family of three have all been coached by Futures Tennis at the East Malvern Tennis Club for 5 years now. We all love it! The professionalism, dedication & quality of coaching is second to none. All the coaches we've had are always enthusiastic, punctual and relate to both kids and adults alike. They are keen to help us improve our technique and strategy of the game, whether beginners like our kids, or, a more advanced adult like ourselves.
Hi FTA, Just letting you know that Liza really enjoyed her first term of coaching. She appears to have a new passion for the game and has been practicing on our brick wall for hours. Please thank the coach for instilling in her his enthusiasm and passion for playing. We will take up your recommendation of playing Friday night red ball comp this new term, please book Liza in.
Hugo has been enjoying his lessons throughout the year. We enjoy watching him having fun with his coach and the peers, and improving his skills at the same time. We really appreciate your staff’s effort, and looking forward to coming back next year. Wishing you all have a fantastic holiday season.
I wanted to let you know about the excellent job Lucy has done with our classes. She has been able to get to know all the children and captivate them with new games each session – our children have responded to him so well. I have had students asking for him again this week hence why we decided to do extra sessions! You’re very lucky to have such a talented coach working with you.
Merry Christmas to you and your team. Thanks for another year of lessons and the dedication of your team to improving the tennis skills of our kids in a fun and encouraging environment. James has learnt a lot from all his coaches this year and has certainly improved so thank you to the team.
