our Coaching
Coaching is an art, and communication with each individual player is the key. That is why WCTA believe that a smaller, more intense program with a heavy emphasis on the individual is how to develop tennis players. Over the past 30 years, Simon Batoni has dedicated his life to changing lives through the development of tennis players on all levels. It is a long-term process; it takes hard work and dedication to live up to your potential. Here at the World Class Tennis Academy, we will do our best to help you develop as a person, athlete and player.
“So whether you are looking for a year-round tennis program or School Holiday Tennis Clinic, we have something for all ages and all levels.”

Our Mission.
to help players reach the top of their game… We teach our students how to play the game by providing a balanced program with focus on the technical, tactical, mental and physical needs of each player.
we strive to create a culture based on competitive spirit, sportsmanship and Teamwork in a positive peer group environment.
we aim on developing as both players and people by teaching life skills and values.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our coaching staff have a tremendous passion for the game and will model this passion and love for the sport when we are coaching players.
Our philosophy is based on the premise that the development of the player is the most important part of our job and always comes first in our decisions.
The WCTA philosophy is to create a team of coaches who provide players with the necessary training/assistance to allow them to maximise their development as tennis players but also in all walks of life. In order to reach this goal, each WCTA coach adheres to the same parameters of organised development which allows the player to maintain an efficient and effective learning process, while not depending on just one coach, instead an organised team.
Working under a clear philosophy creates a wonderful synergy between player and coach, in order to accomplish this, each coach is trained in a specific system of coaching by Head Coach and Director Simon Batoni. Our program requires that each coach adopt similar techniques and ideas of development for the player as well as the use of a common language. This creates a program that optimises and maximises the development of both the coach and the player.
