ITA permanently strives to offer the best possible services to all our tennis guests:

• State-of-the-art tennis teaching and training methods - our own ERGOTennis method, developed by Mr. Strenger, bases on biomechanics and teaches natural, efficient movements as used by today's top players. These techniques are not only efficient, but also easy to learn.
• Take individual lessons , or join one of the training groups (maximum 4 players of equal playing level in one group)
• Tennis Starter Pack: 270 or 450 minutes of group lessons plus a brand-new Babolat Contest SI tennis racket that you can take home with you, for a phantastic price of only 159,- € (270 minutes) or 199,- € (450 minutes group lessons). This racket alone is worth 109,- € !
• Practise your strokes with our coaches in a highly efficient manner with our electronic ball machines as a part of our group lessons program.
  
• In our training programs, the choice is always yours to make : if you decide to change and update your techniques, our coaches will help you with that. If you do not want to change the techniques that you have grown accustomed to, they will help you how to practise specific match situations and improve your playing level through practice. Of course, we also show you how to be a better player by making the right decisions on the court, thus making better use of your existing strokes.
• ITA has an excellent children program. In groups not bigger than 4 children, your kids will learn tennis in a playful way with special lightweight rackets, low-energy balls and special kid's nets. Learning by doing is the best way to get started, and you should expect your kids wanting to play more tennis when you return home!
• ITA's customers can use Babolat Rackets of excellent quality during their lessons (unless they have their own equipment). Babolat rackets are also for sale at the shop, along with all the tennis equipment you may need.
• Even if you do not want to take any lessons, you don't have to bring your own racket along : for a fee of 3,- € per session, you can rent a Babolat racket from us. And did we mention that the use of the tennis courts in LykiaWorld is for free ? Yes, that's right - tennis balls are for rent free-of-charge as well, and only for use of the floodlights there is a small fee!
• We also re-string your racket (24 hour service) on electronic stringing machines.

Try-out lesson for kids from 5-11 years on every Wednesday 10.15 h costs 5,- € per child (to be paid in cash at the tennis center).
