Build a plan from match evidence
Leonard Stakhovsky at Stakhovsky Tennis reviews recent results, full-match video and the player's usual training week. The first task is to find why points are being lost. More travel or more matches are not always the answer.
- Assess the serve, return, movement and shot choices in points.
- Set a short list of training tasks and a way to check each one.
- Choose events by level, surface, entry rules and total travel cost.
- Review match video and results before changing the next block.
The practice has a roster cap of 10 players, including up to two ITF-track places. These are capacity limits, not a claim of open places. Fit and availability are confirmed after review. A junior who needs boarding, school or a large group of daily practice partners should compare a full academy.
J30 or J60: choose the right entry point
Stakhovsky Tennis uses the current ITF calendar, not a fixed count of nearby events. Leonard Stakhovsky helps families compare suitable draws in the Czech Republic and nearby countries. J30 and J60 are lower-tier ITF junior events; J30 is the lower tier. An event label alone does not show whether a player can enter or compete well.
Check the entry deadline, acceptance list, age rules and event format on the official ITF junior calendar. Allow for school, rest and travel. Do not book a trip on the assumption that an entry will be accepted.
Costs and tournament travel
The Stakhovsky Tennis 90-minute assessment with Leonard Stakhovsky costs 3,800 CZK (≈ €155), plus court. Ongoing court coaching starts at 1,600 CZK (≈ €65) per hour, plus court. The full assessment fee is credited toward the first program period if the player continues. Monthly work and tournament travel receive a written quote.
Ask which costs the quote covers: coaching, coach travel, lodging, courts and any event fees. Tournament support can include warm-up planning, a match plan and review afterwards. During-match coaching must follow that event's rules. It is not a promise of on-court access.
Read prices and booking terms and documented player results and their limits. If you cannot travel to Prague, ask about monthly remote coaching.
