Frequently Asked Questions About Our Programs
Answers to the most common questions about our tennis coaching programs in Prague.
What tennis coaching programs does Stakhovsky Tennis offer in Prague?
Stakhovsky Tennis offers three structured coaching tiers in Prague: Technical Development, Performance Development, and High-Performance. Every programme begins with a 90-minute performance assessment. Ongoing coaching starts at 1,600 CZK (≈ €65) per hour, excluding the court fee. Monthly pricing is confirmed in a custom written quote based on scheduled hours and format. All programmes include one-to-one coaching, video analysis, and a documented development plan.
How do I choose between Technical Development, Performance Development, and High-Performance programs?
Program placement is determined by the coach based on your 90-minute assessment results - not self-selection. Technical Development suits adult improvers and intermediate players focused on fundamentals. Performance Development suits league competitors, tournament players, and high-intent juniors. High-Performance is for tournament competitors, elite juniors, and serious competitive adults with limited availability. The assessment identifies the correct starting tier.
What is included in the Technical Development Program?
Technical Development includes weekly 1-on-1 coaching sessions, a stroke refinement system with progression tracking, footwork and movement development, and structured drills. It is designed for players focused on rebuilding technique, improving consistency, and transitioning from recreational to intermediate level. Monthly pricing is confirmed in a custom written quote based on scheduled hours and format.
What is included in the Performance Development Program?
Performance Development includes technical and tactical coaching, match strategy development, decision-making training under pressure, and a structured progression plan with performance tracking. Designed for league competitors, tournament players, and high-intent juniors who want to compete and win. Monthly pricing is confirmed in a custom written quote based on scheduled hours and format.
What is the High-Performance Program and who qualifies?
The High-Performance Program is a full performance system for advanced and competitive players. It includes full performance system integration, match analysis and preparation, advanced tactical development, and priority scheduling. Availability is strictly limited. It is designed for tournament competitors, elite juniors, and performance-focused adults. Monthly pricing is confirmed in a custom written quote based on scheduled hours and format.
Can I switch between programs as I improve?
Yes. Program progression is built into the system. As your technical and competitive level improves, your coach will recommend advancement to the next tier. The upgrade path is structured and measurable - based on documented progress, not subjective opinion. Regular progress reviews determine when a player is ready to advance.
Are there programs for international players who cannot train in Prague year-round?
Yes. Short-term training blocks are available for international players: 3-day, 1-week, 2-week, or custom durations. These blocks include daily 1-on-1 coaching, video analysis, tactical preparation, and a written development plan. They are ideal for players evaluating whether to commit to longer-term coaching in Prague or for those who want concentrated improvement during a visit.
Is there a junior-specific tennis program in Prague?
Yes. The junior development pathway covers ages 8-18. Foundation development (ages 8-12) focuses on technical fundamentals, coordination, and building a disciplined relationship with the sport. Competitive development (ages 12+) targets tournament preparation, tactical development, and college/professional pathway planning. All junior programs begin with an age-appropriate assessment.
What does a Stakhovsky Tennis program include and how does it work?
Every program is one-to-one coaching with Leonard Stakhovsky and begins with a 90-minute on-court assessment that sets the plan. From there it includes technical and tactical development, video-supported review, and match preparation, delivered as a short intensive block or ongoing development depending on the player. The structure is built around one player's priorities rather than a fixed group curriculum.
What is the coaching ratio?
All on-court coaching is one-to-one - a 1:1 ratio for every session. Rather than sharing a coach across a group, each player has Leonard Stakhovsky's full attention on court, which is the core design choice behind the practice.
How many players do you take on?
Total roster capped at 10 players; ITF-track places capped at 2. This limit lets one senior coach work personally on court with every player instead of handing sessions to junior staff.
How much does it cost and how is pricing decided?
Every programme is quoted individually after the application and 90-minute assessment. The quote reflects scheduled coaching hours, format, video analysis, sparring, and surface needs. Ongoing coaching starts at 1,600 CZK (≈ €65) per hour, excluding the court fee. The assessment is 3,400 CZK (≈ €139) and is credited in full if the player continues.
Do I have to do the assessment first?
Yes - the 90-minute performance assessment is the mandatory entry point for every program. It gives an objective, on-court diagnosis of the player's game and defines the plan, and its fee is credited toward the first program period, so nothing is committed until both sides know the starting point.
Who actually coaches me?
Leonard Stakhovsky coaches every session personally, with no junior-staff hand-offs. He is a former ATP professional and NCAA Division I athlete. Total roster capped at 10 players; ITF-track places capped at 2. This limit makes principal-led coaching possible for every player.
Who is this not the right fit for?
It is not the right fit for players looking for the cheapest available lesson, casual hitting without feedback, or a generic group tennis school. It is built for competitive juniors and ambitious adults who want assessment-led, one-to-one development and are willing to start with an honest diagnosis of their game.
The research behind this approach
A controlled tennis study compared two feedback methods. Players who chose when to view individual video feedback improved their tactical performance significantly more, and retained it better a week later. The comparison group received video on a fixed schedule. (Self-controlled video feedback facilitates the learning of tactical skills in tennis)
The arithmetic of attention is simple. A strong academy typically runs one coach to four or five players in drilling, and junior group programmes often around 6:1, which works out at roughly ten to twenty minutes of direct instruction in a paid hour. One-to-one is about sixty. (Tennis schools vs individual coaching: coaching ratios in practice)
