Our philosophy

One methodology, five coaches, a plan for every player.

Every Darrod coach works to the same methodology, designed exclusively by the academy. Players train with several coaches during their development: each professional brings something personal to the process and enriches the player's game.

A personal approach

Small groups by age and level. Individual attention guaranteed even in group sessions.

Video analysis

Biomechanical study and game patterns, used to design the best plan for technical improvement.

A competitive environment

Intensive training that builds a winning mentality, on court and beyond it.

Programmes

For every age and every level.

Three paths, one methodology. Choose your starting point and we build the route.
