What Makes This Program Different?

This isn’t just open play, it’s a systematized match-play experience guided by coaches who understand performance.

Every match is supervised with clear goals and themes for players to execute.
Coaches provide live tactical insights, post-match feedback, and mentorship throughout each session to help athletes make smarter in-match decisions.

Players will learn:

• How to construct points with intention

• How to adapt strategies based on opponent tendencies

• How to manage momentum and recover from setbacks

• How to develop confidence through repetition and accountability

By the end of summer, your child will leave stronger, smarter, and match ready.

We don’t believe in guesswork — we believe in preparation, purpose, and progress.

Why Choose AlSaah Tennis Academy?

At AlSaah Tennis Academy, match play isn’t random, it’s part of a carefully built system.

Each evening is designed to replicate real tournament pressure while providing a supportive learning environment. Players compete, reflect, and grow, both technically and mentally, under direct guidance from the ATA coaching team.

If your child is ready to compete with structure, confidence, and intent, this is where tournament readiness begins.

Note: The coaches will divide students into two courts based on skill and ability. In order to run a program 4 players are required. If we have less than 4 participants registered, an adjustment will be made to the schedule.
