Tennis coaching that delivers.
Private and group coaching for juniors and adults, shaped by years on the professional circuit, at top junior level and in US college tennis. Every player gets a clear technical plan and a focus for each session, not just an hour of rallying.

Lessons from €50 per hour, including 21% BTW
The exact rate, we agree when we speak
That is a starting point, not a price list. Level, lesson format, group size and how often you train all change what makes sense. Tell me what you are after and we will agree a rate that fits it.
Rates are quoted in euro (EUR, €) including 21% BTW, confirmed in writing before the first lesson, and invoiced afterwards, payable within 14 days by bank transfer or iDEAL. Lessons can be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. Full details in the Terms & Conditions.

How the coaching works
What I teach comes from what I had to learn myself: the professional circuit, top junior level, and NCAA college tennis, under coaches in Romania, Spain and the United States. Three countries teach the game three different ways, and that is what you get. In practice it means four things.
Technique as one system
Grip, stance, contact point and swing work as one connected unit. Change the grip and the contact point has to move with it. Coaching that treats them separately is why a “corrected” stroke often falls apart a week later.
Difficulty set deliberately
Ball speed, incoming angle, how far you have to move, how much swing you get: each one is a dial. I set them so you work just past comfortable and just short of overwhelmed, then move the dial as you improve.
A written profile for every player
Every player I coach has a written profile: current level, technical focus points, what we worked on and what comes next. You are never starting the lesson from scratch, and you always know what you are working towards.
Progression, in that order
Whole movement before detail. Easy before hard. Slow before fast. Controlled feed before live ball. Skip a step and the stroke works in the lesson, then disappears in the match.
About
Philip Kamara
I coach tennis and padel across the Tilburg and Oisterwijk region, working with juniors taking their first swings, adults returning to the sport, and competitive players who want a technical problem solved properly.
My coaching comes out of my own playing career. I competed on the professional circuit and at top junior level, reaching No. 6 in Romania, and then played NCAA Division II for Midwestern State University in Texas. I trained under coaches in Romania, Spain and the United States. What I teach comes from that rather than from a manual.
I hold the KNLTB Tennisleraar A licence, the Dutch national coaching qualification. It is listed in the KNLTB lerarenregister.
Outside tennis I train for long-course triathlon. That shapes how I think about training load, recovery, and building a season a player can sustain.
Lessons are given in English.
