☀️ Summer 2026 · Almada
Never held a racket?
That's exactly who this is for.

Saturdays & Sundays in Almada · Group & private lessons · Limited summer spots
No experience? Perfect.
Everyone here started at zero.
No one's watching, no one's judging
Small, friendly sessions. We learn by laughing at the misses — yours and mine.
You don't need any gear
Borrow a racket for €5. Show up in whatever you'd wear for a walk.
Any age, any fitness level
Tennis isn't about being athletic. It's about hitting one good ball, then another.
More than a sport
Why learn tennis? ☀️
It's not just about the game. Picking up a racket gives you back a few things modern life keeps taking away.
Exercise that doesn't feel like it
You'll forget you're working out. Tennis is a full-body workout disguised as the most fun part of your week.
The easiest way to meet people
New to Lisbon, or just want to widen your circle? A court is one of the friendliest places to make new friends.
An hour that clears your head
Phone down, sun out, fully present. Tennis is brilliant for switching off the noise and lifting your mood.
A sport you'll keep for life
Start now and play for decades. Tennis is one of the few sports you simply never age out of.
💚 And it's not just us saying it — research links racket sports to a longer life, a healthier heart, and a sharper mind. Some studies even associate them with up to ~9 extra years of life.

Hi, I'm Rasha
I'm learning to coach — and I haven't forgotten how it feels to start.
I'm training to coach through the Portuguese Tennis Federation — I've completed the theory, and I'm now finishing my official coaching internship. So this is the real thing, not a weekend hobby. And honestly, being early in my coaching journey might be the best part: I remember exactly what it's like to stand on a court not knowing what to do with your hands. I know the nerves. I know the self-consciousness. And I know how good it feels when that first ball finally lands where you wanted it.
That's the whole reason I started this — to give beginners the patient, no-judgment start I wish everyone got.
My favorite shot is a double-handed backhand — and I can fix yours. 🎾
