Tennis Europe Academy

The Tennis Europe Academy opened its doors for the first time in the autumn of 2018 to offer training camps for groups of elite young players (aged 14&U) from Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 member nations, nominated by their national tennis federations.*

The Academy is a collaboration between Tennis Europe, the Czech Tennis Association and Tennis Club Prostejov and provides a unique opportunity to train alongside other elite players and national teams from across Europe under the tutelage of TC Prostejov's highly experienced team of coaches, supervised by David Kotyza (former coach of Petra Kvitova, Lucie Safarova, Karolina Pliskova and current coach of Linda Noskova) or Jaroslav Navratil (for 25 years captain of Czech Davis Cup team with two titles, Lucie Safarova’s former top WTA coach). National association coaches participating in the camp will also be highly involved.
