Tennis at Sports Centre VU

Tennis at Sportcentrum VU.

VU Sports Center offers excellent opportunities for tennis. Summer and winter we offer different courses at every level. The tennis program takes place at Racket Centrum Amsterdam (formerly: Tennispark Buitenveldert) or at Sportcentrum VU in the hall. Racket Centrum Amsterdam is one of the nicest tennis parks in Amsterdam, within walking distance of the Vrije Universiteit.

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

Court rental / private lessons

Unfortunately, there are no longer opportunities to rent a court through the Sports Center and/or take private lessons.

All tennis levels explained

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

Level distributions:

  • Beginners: never had a lesson.
  • Level 10: Beginner off and can already play a bit of a rally (of about 10 strokes) from the baseline with the basic strokes, FH and BH and Service.
  • Level 9/8: can maintain a rally of at least 10 tricks with all tricks (Service, Baseline and Netplay), and maintains this stability reasonably well when the tricks are combined (as in the game situation increase + netplay), but still has little to no experience playing games.
  • Level 7: You have experience playing official matches in competition and tournaments and you are in possession of a KNLTB rating 7.
  • Level 6/5: You have a lot of experience playing competitions and tournaments and you have a KNLTB rating of 5 or 6.
  • Cardio tennis: is a group training on the tennis court, with about 10 participants, aimed at hitting a lot of balls in different situations. In addition, additional exercises with your own body weight, all aimed at improving tennis skills and physical fitness. But most of all, it's a lot of fun!
