Forza Tennis

We're a team of young and enthusiastic trainers with a true passion for the game, offering personalised private and group trainings for beginner, intermediate and competitive players.

Our Mission

Forza Tennis is a Berlin-based tennis school founded by Luca (Italy), Rodrigo (Brazil), and Brigitte (Netherlands).

After years of coaching and playing tennis, we joined our forces to grow the tennis community in Berlin. We wanted to give everyone, regardless of age or level, access to high-quality tennis trainings with engaging coaches. Today, over 150 people train with us every week.

For us, tennis is more than training: it is a community built on support, motivation, and enjoyment of the sport. Whether in group sessions, private lessons, or matches, we want you to always feel part of our Forza family.

Our Training

Group training

The group trainings are designed to students with similar playing levels. A group session consists of several parts: a warm-up with dedicated exercises, rallying, technical/tactical improvement and points. On top of that, it is a great way to connect with other players.

Our Training Programs

Kids Training

In our kids training fun is the priority. We want our kids to look forward to coming back every week. Along the way, they build skills, coordination, and confidence. With our more advanced players we also work on match play.

Adults: Foundation Training

For adults starting out, we focus on technique, basic match tactics, and consistency. Sessions are structured to help players build a solid foundation, feel confident on the court, and enjoy learning the game.

Adults: Performance Training

For more experienced players, we focus on fine-tuning skills, expanding the repertoire of shots, and advanced match tactics. Sessions are designed to help players elevate their game, improve strategy, and perform confidently in competitive situations.
