About Academy

ELITE TENNIS ACADEMY:

  • Founded:  1997.
  • Place: Novi Sad
  • Number of courts: 6 courts – 5 clay courts, and 1 hard court (+ 4 clay courts, if needed, in the vicinity of the tennis center)

In 2008, a 3,000 m² office building (with apartments and a restaurant), a central tennis court and a sports hall with 2 indoor tennis courts were built on a plot of land with an area of 10,000 m². In 2009, the first Serbian tennis academy “Elite” started working in this sports and business center.

HISTORY:

The “Elite” Tennis Club was founded in 1997 with 5 newly built tennis courts and a small sports facility with locker rooms. The club was rapidly developing and has now become one of the most reputable clubs in Serbia. In 2008, the business building was constructed on the same area of 10,000m², as part of the tennis club. The building has 3,000m² of office space, including apartments for tennis players, and a restaurant. In addition, another central tennis court was built as well as a hall over two existing tennis courts. This has created the conditions for the operation of the international tennis academy, which officially started its work on the 26th March 2009.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

The “ELITE” Tennis Academy today works on 10 tennis courts, 6 of which are within the sports and business center itself, and 4 in the immediate vicinity, which are used when needed. All courts are well-lit, so tennis can be played until 11 pm. Two courts are also covered in summer, with open sides, so tennis can always be played regardless of the weather. In winter, training takes place in the Academy itself on 5 covered courts, 4 of which are on clay and 1 on hard court. The summer season lasts from 1st April until 1st November current year (7 months), and the winter season lasts from 1st November until 1st April next year (5 months).

The tennis Academy employs 10 tennis coaches and 2 fitness coaches, all of whom have passed the coaching exam and acquired coaching licenses. The Academy also uses the services of masseurs, physiotherapists, sports psychologists, and nutritionists. We also organize Serbian language lessons in English and Russian as desired, as well as English language lessons. The Tennis Association of Vojvodina, as a regional tennis association, is also located in the business building where the “Elite” Tennis Academy is. Thus, in addition to numerous tournaments, on the Academy’s grounds regional camps for the preparation of tennis players are also organized, as well as seminars for obtaining coaching licenses.

OUR CLIENTS:

The Academy offers programs suitable for all ages and all levels, starting from the entry-level for children and adults, through the junior competitive tennis and professional level. Many successful players have been members of our Academy, including some national champions, such as Filip Grbić who was an Under 12 and Under 14 Champion in Serbia and 6th at ETA’s Under 16 ranking. The world Under 18 champion in 2014, Ivana Jorović, has also been a long-term member of our Academy since she was 12 years old. In addition, members of our Academy in the junior days (and even today our occasional guests during preparations between tournaments) are Dušan Lajović (best ranking #23 on the ATP list), Filip Krajinović (best ranking #26 on the ATP list), Laslo Đere (best ranking #27 on the ATP list), Aleksandra Krunić (best ranking #39 on the WTA list), and many others.

WHY ELITE T.A.?

What sets us apart from other academies is a particularly high level of commitment and a professional relationship with each and every player, regardless of their level of tennis, gender, and age. Our programs are designed so that each individual gets maximum attention in order to achieve his/her personal goals regarding their tennis careers. This is achieved through frequent individual lessons, training in small groups of 2-4 players of similar age and quality, as well as constant communication between the players, coaches, and parents (of younger players). This way, we achieve a pleasant and professional working atmosphere at the Academy.
