Reviews

Vlad has been my doubles partner at national level for many years and also helps me prepare for singles events. As a far more experienced athlete, he has given me a lot of valuable advice on tournament preparation, tactics and technique. Vlad plays an aggressive baseline game and has great stamina. In practice he pays attention to every aspect of the game and knows sports psychology well.
Oleksandr Kolesnykov National doubles champion -
I want to sincerely thank Vlad for his professional approach and quality coaching. His sessions combine a personal approach, technical analysis and motivation, which helps you progress fast. Vlad pays attention to detail, explains stroke technique and tactics clearly, and creates a friendly atmosphere on court. Thanks to his advice my game became more confident and my fitness improved. I recommend Vlad to beginners and experienced players alike!
Dmytro Shvaika Playing for over a year -
My son (5) and daughter (8) have been training with Vlad for 3 years. The kids love going to practice and always work hard. Vlad knows how to connect with children and make them comfortable, always comes up with fun tasks and builds their skills. My very active son is calm as an angel after practice. Parents of active kids will appreciate it. I recommend signing up.
Iryna Rykova Mother of two young players -
Vlad is a great coach. He gives very useful advice and easily finds common ground with every player. He also has a great sense of humour and offers interesting, varied training plans. I like his individual approach, his energy and his drive to get results. His attitude really motivates you to train and get better.
Vladyslava Bezpala Tennis Federation of Ukraine tournament player -
Vlad was a really great tennis coach. He was patient, positive and did a great job of pointing out developmental areas. He ran good drills and very much developed the lessons to fit abilities. I am happy to recommend Vlad - he was pleasant and effective as a tennis coach.
Bryan Nguen Head coach, Pennsylvania Tennis Academy -
Coach Vlad is the man! He can identify all the issues with your game but will narrow down the top couple and focus on improving those. I also like how he doesn’t just know what to do but can explain how and why. I got much more consistent with my strokes - even my backhand - and am equipped to recognize when I’ve made a mistake and how to improve it.

FAQ
01 What level do I need to start?
Any level. Lessons suit both complete beginners and experienced players: every session is built around your level, goals and style of play.
02 Where do tennis lessons take place?
At MTA Arena: 63 Povitrianykh Syl Ave, Kyiv.
03 At what age can a child start tennis?
From age 4. Kids classes are play-based and use special kid-sized rackets and balls that put less strain on the joints.
04 How is a private lesson different from a split lesson?
In a private lesson the coach works with you alone. In a split lesson there are two players on court: the coach gives each of them time and personal feedback, and the price per player is lower.
05 Can I book a sparring partner?
Yes. Sparring comes in singles, doubles or tournament format and helps you work on tactics, technique at match pace and get ready for competition.
06 Do you coach padel?
Yes. Vlad runs private, doubles and group padel sessions for players of any level.
