What players say
The players who train here put it better than we ever could.
Had an amazing week training at the Kahli tennis centre. Great and well trained coaches, offering their best to their students. Facilities are also very well looked after and exactly what a tennis student needs. Thank you for a great week which levelled up my game! Tom, Kitty, Dusan, Arm, Dean, and Regina thank you for the guidance this whole week, I really enjoyed it.
For the second year in a row, we’ve come to KHALI Phuket Tennis Academy specifically for our son’s training , and it’s simply exceptional! Tom, the academy director, and Coach Regina personally coached him, helping him make spectacular progress, while Dean, Head Coach, Kitty, and the rest of the team offer fun, professional, and varied programs for the whole family. The staff is friendly and professional, the restaurant serves delicious meals, and we’re already planning to come back several times a year just for the training! A, J & T
Did a one week camp there, the experience was great! All 6 courts are fully covered, the environment was nice, and the coaches are professional and helpful! Really enjoyed my time there and will for sure go back again
We have traveled to Phuket specifically to train at Kahli multiple times over the last 2 years. Most recently we came as a group of 4 ladies looking to improve our doubles game. We trained with Tom, Dean and Dusan who are all highly skilled and knowledgeable. In particular, their ability to break down techniques and tailor instructions to our group has made a noticeable difference in our game. We very much enjoyed all our trainings here! Looking forward to the next trip...
Had a great time here with the Learn to Compete tennis camp! The smaller class sizes for the group classes definitely help, alongside the coaches who were all passionate, usually funny and some bring the banter to the courts (looking at you, Coach Kitty). A huge thanks to Coach Arm and Kitty for making it such a good experience, and the facility as a whole is highly recommended.
Outstanding tennis experience in Phuket. The courts are in excellent condition, the facilities are modern and very well maintained, and the atmosphere is both professional and welcoming. The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and able to adapt to different skill levels, making every session productive and enjoyable. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player looking to improve your game, this academy offers high-quality training in a great setting. Highly recommended for anyone serious about tennis while in Phuket. 🎾
I accompanied my wife to her first tennis class here and the experience was very interesting. She spent an hour in a group of 8 people directed by coach Kitty. The training technique is intense and very dynamic. They started with a solid cardio session and mobility exercises for playing tennis, and then went straight into practice. They worked hard on forehand and backhand strokes, plus a lot of rallying on the court. The facilities are in great condition, the courts are excellent and the prices per session are quite acceptable for the quality they offer. A good place to train on the island. Enjoy Phuket!
I was wonderful and enjoyable 3 day learn. The teaching coaches and the people who come to learn have made the experience more fruitful with many joy. I wish I had more days off to have more time here but hope to come again soon with my tennis buddies. :) Also the food and beverages were delicious !
Group classes, socials and match play
Start with Learn to Play, sharpen up in clinics and masterclasses, sweat through cardio tennis, then put it all on the line in socials and match play. Levels run from first racquet to match tough, so you always land in the right group.
A pathway from three to eighteen
FUNdamental builds coordination and a love of the game, the Development pathway builds technique and match craft, and everything is scheduled around international school terms. Kids camps run all year, so the racquet never has to go back in the bag.
