A full-time week spent with one named coach, built around one player, and planned from footage of them playing before they land.
A camp week puts a player into a group. A training block puts them into the full-time academy. A Pro week does neither. The week is built around the player who is coming, and it is spent with the coach they choose, full time, for the whole week.
Because the week is built from scratch each time, it is arranged directly with Kris rather than booked off a page. Tell us the player, the dates and what the week is for, and we will tell you which of the three is the right coach for it.
A technical change, a tactical pattern that keeps costing matches, a serve that falls apart under pressure, or a block of preparation before something that matters.
Juniors on the circuit · professionals · serious adultsThe coach you choose takes the week. Not a rota, not whoever is free that morning. The same person on court with the player from Monday to Saturday.
One week · full time · one named coachSeven hard courts at T3 and three red clay at Chayofa, plus two gyms, the athletics track, the pools and the recovery rooms, with the residence five minutes from the court.
See the residence →What the €2,000 covers Tennis, fitness, use of every facility, and a bespoke programme built around the individual player, with every hour on court delivered by the coach they choose. It is before IGIC, and it does not include accommodation or meals. Most players stay in the residence five minutes from the court, and we price that separately once we have your dates.
Nobody turns up on Monday morning and works out what to do that day. The plan is built in advance, from footage of the player actually playing, and it is built with them rather than handed to them.
For a professional, we work from the matches available online. Where there is nothing to find, we ask for a recent match to be shared, and we go through it properly rather than skimming it.
A deep dive into real match playWhat the player believes is wrong matters as much as what the footage shows. We speak to them, and to their team, before anything is written down.
Player and team, ahead of arrivalA comprehensive plan of the areas to improve, built together with the player or the player’s team, so the first session on Monday starts on the work rather than on the diagnosis.
Agreed before the week beginsThey do not do the same job, and a player should not pick on reputation alone. Tell us what the week is for and we will tell you honestly which of the three it should be.
