The Tennace Academy Community
We are more than just a tennis academy. We are a family of players, coaches, and parents built on shared passion and hard work. Join a space where every point matters, but every person matters more.
We asked our players and parents to describe their experience at Tennace Academy for our one-year anniversary. Hearing their positive feedback about our coaching and community is what motivates us every day.
A special thank you to the unsung heroes of our academy: the parents. Your dedication, early mornings, and constant support are the foundation upon which our young athletes build their success. We appreciate you.

About this collection
Tennis can be intimidating, especially when you are just starting out. That is why our community approach is central to everything we do. You will see players of all ages cheering for each other, coaches who know your name and your game, and parents who are just as invested in your progress as we are. It is not about perfect strokes on day one. It is about feeling comfortable enough to make mistakes, learn, and grow alongside teammates who have your back.
Our academy is built on the belief that tennis starts with love and keeps going with a solid support system. You are not just here for drills. You are here to be part of an environment where a simple handshake after a match matters as much as a tournament win.
Our coaching team is the heart of this. Raghunath Gupta brings over two decades of experience to the court, acting as a technical mentor for our advanced juniors. Kiara D'Souza, a national-level winner and ITF athlete, bridges the gap between raw talent and competitive play. They do not just stand on the sidelines. They jump in, correct your grip, break down the hip movement, and talk you through pressure points.
We also recognize the unsung heroes: the parents. Whether it is the early morning drop-offs at Willingdon Catholic Gymkhana in Santacruz or navigating the schedule at Don Bosco Matunga, your support makes our academy what it is. We see you on the sidelines, we hear your encouragement, and we know that a player's success is a family effort.
When it rains, we adapt. Our training does not pause for the Mumbai monsoon. We shift focus to indoor fitness and drills so the rhythm remains unbroken. We keep the groups small, ensuring you get personal attention, and we focus heavily on the mental game. Because at the end of the day, tennis is 80 percent mental. You need a team that reinforces that belief. Come join a session, see the camaraderie, and let us work on your game together.
