— Junior Development
Junior tennis development in Marbella.
A long-term junior tennis development pathway — building technique, athletic base and competitive maturity inside one of Europe's leading high performance tennis academies.
— Program overview
The Junior Development program is the foundation of the Mikhail Kukushkin High Performance Tennis Academy in Marbella. It is designed for committed young players who want elite tennis training under the personal guidance of a former ATP professional and his coaching team.
Every junior follows an individual plan that combines technical work, athletic preparation, tactical education and structured competition. Sessions take place year-round on the academy's courts in Marbella, with daily contact between player, coach and parents.
This is professional tennis coaching for the long game — not a holiday camp. We build players who can compete internationally, while protecting their physical development and love for the sport.
