Tennis at Sports Centre VU

Tennis at Sportcentrum VU.

The VU Sports Center offers excellent tennis facilities. We offer various courses at every level in both summer and winter.

In spring/summer, the tennis program will take place at AMVJ Tennis in Amstelveen (Aanloop 2, 1183 SZ), which is within cycling/walking distance of the VU Sports Center at Uilenstede.
From October onwards, we will return indoors and lessons will be held at the VU Sports Center.

Trainers Mariëlle Spekreijse and Borre Diesbergen give the tennis lessons in a pleasant and informal atmosphere. They have a KNLTB-A or -B license.

All tennis levels explained

The training is given at different levels. The levels are described below as we use them for the training sessions.

  • Beginners: never had lessons before
  • Level 10: you know the basic techniques of the forehand, backhand, and serve and can already play a quiet rally with these strokes.
  • Level 9: Can serve from the baseline, maintain a rally of at least 10 strokes with FH and BH, and also knows the basic techniques of net play. However, little to no experience in playing complete matches.
  • Level 8: Can maintain a rally of at least 10 strokes with all strokes (serve, baseline, and net play), has reasonable control of the game situation and net play, has experience playing complete matches, but has not yet achieved the official level 7 rating.
  • Level 7: You have experience playing official matches in competitions and tournaments and you have a KNLTB level 7 rating!
