The arithmetic
Cost per expert contact hour - the real comparison
The listed annual fee of a large tennis academy is not the cost of expert coaching. It is the cost of access to a system in which expert coaching is one component - diluted across a roster, delivered partly by junior staff, and shared across four to six players per court.
Representative large academy
Annual fee: ~€35,000-€60,000/year (published 2025-26 fees)
Coaching ratio: 1:4-1:6 (typical group academy)
Daily coaching hours: ~3h on court
1:1 principal hours/week: ~20 min/day ≈ 1.7h/week
€50,000 ÷ (1.7h × 52w) ≈ €566/expert hour
Stakhovsky Tennis
Annual fee: Confirmed after application
Coaching ratio: 1:1
Daily coaching hours: All hours 1:1 with Leonard
1:1 principal hours/week: All hours = 1:1 with Leonard
Every on-court hour is an expert hour - no dilution
Academy figures are published 2025-26 annual fees for large European residential academies. The coaching-ratio and 1:1 principal-hour figures are illustrative industry assumptions, not any single academy's disclosed schedule. Stakhovsky Tennis fee is confirmed individually. What matters is the method - dividing the annual fee by actual 1:1 principal coaching hours.
FAQ
Which prices are published, and which are quoted?
The 90-minute assessment is 3,400 CZK. Monthly programmes run from 4,500–7,500 CZK for Technical Development, 7,500–12,000 CZK for Performance Development, and 12,000–25,000+ CZK for High-Performance. Custom training blocks, tournament coaching, and remote video reviews receive a written quote within 48 hours because scope, travel, and video length vary.
What does the high-performance programme cost compared with a large academy?
Stakhovsky Tennis publishes 12,000–25,000+ CZK per month for its High-Performance programme. Compare the hours delivered by the named principal coach. Also compare court, travel, accommodation and tournament costs. Do not compare only the headline fee. Every on-court hour here is 1:1 with Leonard; residential accommodation and travel are not included.
Is the assessment fee refunded if I don't continue?
The assessment fee (3,400 CZK) is credited in full toward the first program period if the player continues. If the player does not continue, the assessment fee covers the cost of the 90-minute on-court session, the recording, and the written technical report - which stands alone as a diagnostic document the player can use with any coach.
What is included in the training block fee?
Performance assessment, all private on-court coaching sessions, Leonard-led video analysis, and a written development report at the close of the block. Court fees are included for Prague-based sessions. Accommodation, travel, and tournament entry are separate.
Can I pay in CZK or EUR?
Both CZK and EUR are accepted. Bank transfer preferred; other arrangements on request.

What tennis coaching costs, and when it is worth it
These are the questions people actually ask before booking a coach, answered with the figures this site already publishes rather than a range invented to look attractive. Where a cheaper option is the better one, that is said plainly.
How much does a tennis coach cost per hour in Prague?
In Prague, recreational tennis coaching runs roughly 800-1,200 CZK an hour, and high-performance coaching from a coach with a professional playing record runs roughly 2,200-3,500 CZK an hour at 2026 market rates. Stakhovsky Tennis does not sell single hours. Every player starts with a 90-minute performance assessment at 3,400 CZK, credited in full toward the first program period, and ongoing coaching is priced monthly rather than per session.
How much does tennis coaching cost per month?
Stakhovsky Tennis offers three one-to-one levels with Leonard Stakhovsky. Technical Development costs 4,500-7,500 CZK per month and focuses on technique and consistency. Performance Development costs 7,500-12,000 CZK and adds tactics and match preparation. High-Performance costs 12,000-25,000+ CZK for tournament competitors. Court fees are included in Prague. The exact figure is confirmed within 48 hours of application rather than quoted in advance.
How much are tennis lessons for a beginner?
A beginner in Prague can expect roughly 800-1,200 CZK an hour at recreational rates, and that is usually the right place to start. Stakhovsky Tennis is not the best-value option for someone who wants a relaxed weekly hit, and it is worth saying so plainly: this practice is built for players who want a diagnosis and a plan. If the goal is to learn the basics enjoyably, a good club coach at recreational rates is better value.
Is a tennis coach worth the money?
It depends almost entirely on whether the coaching is diagnostic. Paying 800 CZK an hour to be fed balls for a year costs more than paying 2,500 CZK an hour to have the single fault costing the most points identified and rebuilt, because the first buys effort and the second buys change. The test is simple: ask what a coach would assess before they start teaching. If there is no clear answer, the hourly rate is the wrong thing to be comparing.
Are group or private tennis lessons better?
Group lessons are better for match volume, sparring, motivation and cost per hour. Private lessons are better when a specific fault needs to be diagnosed, rebuilt and pressure-tested. The arithmetic decides it: with four to six players on one court, each gets roughly ten to twenty minutes of direct instruction in an hour, so a cheaper group hour can cost more per minute of actual coaching than a private one.
What is the best age to start tennis coaching?
Children can start enjoying tennis from about five or six, but structured technical coaching is usually most productive from around eight to ten, once a player can hold an instruction and repeat it deliberately. Starting later is not a barrier. Adults who begin in their thirties or forties often improve quickly under diagnostic coaching, because they can understand and apply a correction faster than a child can.
