Our Academy's Journey: Building Tennis in Seegehalli
11 years ago, this was just an empty plot in Seegehalli. Today, it is a vibrant community of players, coaches, and families connected by a shared love for the game.
This video shows the transformation of our academy, from an empty plot of land to a fully functional tennis facility. It represents our journey and commitment to building a top-class venue for tennis in Bangalore.
Celebrating 11 successful years of Murugan Academy of Tennis. This journey has been a team effort, and I am grateful to all the students, parents, and coaches who have been a part of it.
About this collection
When I started with just two clay courts in 2013, I wanted a place where tennis felt like home. Today, we have five well-maintained courts here in Seegehalli, but the real growth isn't just in the surface area—it is in the family that plays here every morning and evening.
From Mud to Courts
My journey in tennis began long before this academy. After playing nationally and internationally, I wanted to pass on the discipline and the heart of the sport. In 2013, Seegehalli was just a quiet spot with an empty plot. It took sweat, dedication, and a lot of grit to transform that land into the facility you see today.
The MAT Philosophy
'Learn, Develop, Succeed' is not just a slogan on our wall. It is the framework we use to coach every student. Whether you are a beginner picking up a racquet for the first time or a competitive player aiming for an AITA ranking, the approach remains the same. We focus on:
- Physical Conditioning: Tennis fitness sessions to boost stamina and strength.
- Mental Toughness: Coaching that treats defeats as learning moments.
- Inclusive Environment: Programs for juniors, seniors, corporate groups, and ladies-only batches.
A Home for Tennis Families
We built this place to be more than just a training ground. We added amenities like our self-service kitchen so parents can prepare meals during long match days, and floodlights so that evening matches remain accessible. We host birthday celebrations, community events, and tournaments like the Kannada Rajyotsava Trophy because champions are not just born—they are built within a community that supports them. If you are looking to get on the court in Bangalore, you are welcome to visit our academy and see the community we have built.
Murugan Academy of Tennis
I am Murugan, and tennis has been my life since my days playing on the national circuit. My brother Raju and I built this academy not just to train players, but to grow a tennis family where everyone, from juniors to seniors, feels at home.
