Start tennis properly, from zero. Nine hours of coaching across six sessions, in a group of four, for people who have never played. Rackets are provided, so all you need to bring is trainers. By the end you're rallying and playing points.
These are tennis classes for complete beginners in Barcelona, for someone who has genuinely never played. Not a trial lesson, not a drop-in class you turn up to once, but a beginner tennis course with a start and a finish: nine hours of coaching, split into six sessions of an hour and a half, taught by Pavel Viks himself at CEM Tennis l'Hospitalet.
Groups are capped at four players, so you're never standing in a queue waiting for your turn. Rackets are provided for every session, which means you can find out whether you actually enjoy tennis before spending anything on equipment. Trainers and something comfortable to move in are all you need to bring.
Times are flexible. Weekdays or weekends, mornings, afternoons or evenings, tell us when works for you and we'll fit you into a group that matches.
Enough to walk onto a court in Barcelona with friends afterwards and actually play a game, rather than just hit a few balls.
How to hold the racket, where to stand, and how to make contact so the ball goes where you meant it to.
A serve you can actually start a point with, and what to do when one comes back at you.
Keeping the ball in play for more than two shots, and getting your feet to the ball in time.
How a game, a set and a match are actually scored, then putting it together and playing.
Most beginner tennis classes in Barcelona run at one fixed slot and you either make it or you don't. This course doesn't work that way.
Whichever fits your week. If Saturday morning is the only time you're free, that works.
Before work, in the middle of the day, or after it. All three are possible.
Sign up with friends and you're the group. On your own, we'll put you with other beginners starting at the same point.
Message us on WhatsApp with the days and times that suit you, and we'll confirm the schedule once your group of four is set.
You don't need to know anything in advance. Everyone in the group is starting from the same place.
If tennis was something you tried at school and never came back to, this rebuilds it properly from the ground up.
Four spots per group, so you can book the whole thing with people you already know and learn together.
All six sessions take place at CEM Tennis l'Hospitalet in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, immediately southwest of central Barcelona, and easy to reach from Sants, Cornellà, Esplugues and Sant Joan Despí. Same courts every session, so there's nothing to keep track of once you've started.
At CEM Tennis l'Hospitalet, in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat on the southwest edge of Barcelona. All six sessions are at the same courts.
€215 per person for the whole course. That's the full nine hours, all six sessions, court time, rackets and balls, coached by Pavel Viks. It isn't a per-session price.
Yes, that's exactly who it's built for. It assumes no tennis background whatsoever, and everyone in your group of four will be starting from the same place.
No. Rackets are provided for all six sessions. Bring trainers you can move in and something comfortable to wear, that's it. If you decide to buy your own later, Pavel will tell you what's worth getting.
English. Pavel also coaches in Russian and Estonian, so say which you'd prefer when you get in touch.
Not at all. It's a beginner course, the pace is set by the group, and in a group of four nobody is being pushed to keep up with anyone else. The focus is on technique and getting the ball in play, not on fitness.
Yes, and it's a good way to do it. Four of you is exactly one group, so you'd have the course to yourselves. If you're coming alone or as a pair, we'll place you with other beginners.
Most people move into Group Classes, which run on an ongoing basis at both venues. Others carry on one-to-one with Private Coaching. Pavel will tell you honestly which makes more sense for you by the end of the course.
Tell us the days and times that work for you and we'll find you a group.
