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 (4,500-7,500 CZK/month for technique and consistency), Performance Development (7,500-12,000 CZK/month adding tactical and match preparation), and High-Performance (12,000-25,000+ CZK/month, a full performance system for tournament competitors). Every program begins with a 90-minute performance assessment. All programs include 1-on-1 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 investment: 4,500-7,500 CZK depending on session frequency.
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 investment: 7,500-12,000 CZK depending on session frequency.
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 investment: 12,000-25,000+ CZK.
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?
The practice is capped at 10 players, with no exceptions. The cap exists so that a single senior coach can be personally on court for everyone rather than handing sessions to junior staff; it is the constraint that makes the one-to-one, principal-led model possible.
How much does it cost and how is pricing decided?
Every program is quoted individually after the initial application and 90-minute assessment, based on block length, coaching volume, video analysis, sparring, and surface requirements - so the figure reflects the actual plan rather than a fixed package. The assessment is 3,400 CZK and is credited in full toward the program 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 - there are no junior-staff hand-offs. He is a former ATP professional and NCAA Division I athlete, and the practice is capped at 10 players specifically so that principal-led coaching is possible for everyone on the roster.
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
In controlled tennis research, players given individualised, learner-controlled video feedback improved their tactical performance significantly more, and retained it better a week later, than players on a fixed, one-size-fits-all feedback 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)
