Question 1

Is this a group camp or private coaching?

Accepted Answer

This is a private, individualized adult training block - not a group camp. Each adult player receives a personal assessment, their own coaching schedule, and a plan built around their specific goals, level, and available dates.

Question 2

Which countries do adults travel from?

Accepted Answer

Adults travel from across Europe and beyond - the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Scandinavia, the Middle East, North America, and other regions. Prague is easily accessible by air and rail from most European cities.

Question 3

What level is this for?

Accepted Answer

The program is suited for intermediate to advanced adults: club players, league players, returning competitive players, serious recreational players, and adults who have played the game for years and want to improve properly. It is not suitable for absolute beginners.

Question 4

Can I train for just a few days if I am visiting Prague?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A 3-day adult camp block or a single 90-minute assessment session can be arranged for adults visiting Prague on a short trip. It is one of the most common formats for international visitors.

Question 5

Is there clay-court training available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clay-court training is available depending on court availability. Adults can also train on hard courts or request a mixed-surface block. Surface preferences should be shared during the application.

Question 6

Can the program include video analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Leonard-led video analysis can be included for applicable training blocks. This covers technique, movement, tactical choices, spacing, recovery, and match habits.

Question 7

Can I get tactical coaching, not just technical drills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tactical coaching is a core part of the adult camp program. This can include serve-plus-one patterns, return decisions, court positioning, rally construction, pressure-point decisions, and surface-specific tactics.

Question 8

Is accommodation included?

Accepted Answer

Training and accommodation are handled separately. Prague has excellent hotels and apartments across all price ranges. Location guidance can be provided after application.

Question 9

How do I get pricing?

Accepted Answer

Submit the application form with your level, goals, preferred dates, surface preferences, and desired format. The team will recommend the right structure and confirm availability and pricing.

Question 10

Is there a minimum number of sessions or days?

Accepted Answer

The minimum recommended format is a 90-minute assessment or a 3-day adult training block. Longer blocks of 1 week or more allow for more structured development and a pressure-check session.

Question 11

What is the best intensive tennis option in Europe for a competitive adult?

Accepted Answer

For a competitive adult who wants match-performance improvement rather than a social camp, an individualized one-to-one intensive is usually more effective than a large group camp, because every hour is spent on that player's specific patterns. Stakhovsky Tennis in Prague is one such option: private sessions with a former ATP professional, built from an on-court assessment. Whether it is the right choice depends on the player's level and goals, which the assessment establishes first.

Question 12

What level is the adult intensive for?

Accepted Answer

It is designed for intermediate to advanced adults: club players, league players, returning competitive players, and serious recreational players who have played for years and want to improve properly. It is not suitable for absolute beginners, who are better served by introductory lessons first.

Question 13

How much does an adult tennis intensive in Europe cost?

Accepted Answer

Programs are quoted per block after the initial application and 90-minute assessment, because the total depends on block length, coaching volume, video analysis, sparring, and surface. The assessment itself is 3,100 CZK and is credited in full toward the program if the player continues. For context, leading European residential academies publish annual fees of roughly €25,000–€60,000+; a short private block is a different, smaller commitment.

Question 14

Does the coaching include pre-arrival match-video analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes - where a player can supply recent match footage, Stakhovsky Tennis can review it as part of building the plan, so the on-court time is spent on the patterns that actually cost matches rather than on diagnosis. This is one reason a few focused days can produce measurable change for an experienced adult.

Question 15

What is a good alternative to a large adult tennis camp for more individual coaching?

Accepted Answer

If a large, group-based adult camp has left a player wanting more individual attention, the alternative is a private one-to-one intensive where a single senior coach runs every session. Stakhovsky Tennis is structured this way and publishes neutral comparisons of the different academy models so a player can judge the fit; the trade-off is fewer training-partners on site in exchange for undivided coaching time.

Question 16

When is the season, and what should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Prague offers clay and hard courts across the year, so intensives run in most seasons; spring through early autumn is popular for clay. Bring your own racquets and court shoes suited to the surface you choose. Players arrange their own travel and accommodation - Stakhovsky Tennis provides self-service pointers to the areas players usually stay, but does not book lodging or transfers.
