Welcome to the world of tennis! If you are an adult beginner player, you found just the right place to improve your tennis skills. In the summer of 2024, we offer tennis group lessons for adults on the clay tennis courts of Hippos Sports Park in the center of Jyväskylä. Our experienced professional coaches make sure that everyone learns new skills. The courses also allow you to get to know new practice partners.
Feel free to join our beginner tennis programs. See you on the courts!

If there are no courses on the list that fit your schedule, don't worry. You can gather your own group of friends and we will arrange your own weekly course or intensive course. Of course, you can also arrange private lessons with a tennis coach. See here for more information.
We also want to encourage students to be active and we offer student discounts for our courses and private lessons. Seize this opportunity to develop your skills and enjoy playing tennis! A valid student card must be presented to be eligible for a discount.
To participate in the course, you will need your own racket. Sneakers are not allowed on the clay courts, so you will also need suitable tennis shoes. It is also good to note that the course participants are not insured by the organizer. It's worth taking this into account and checking your own insurance coverage before starting the course.
What if you can't make it to a practice session? No worries, because absences can be made up in other groups of the same level during the summer, if there is space in them. Registration fees won't be returned if you are absent from lessons.
The lessons have a weather reservation. Clay courts can withstand some water, but prolonged or heavy rain prevents play. In these cases, the tennis session in question will be postponed to another time.
Getting a student discount requires presenting a valid student card before the course or at the first training session.
If you do have to cancel the course registration, please remember to do so by e-mail info@matchpoint.fi no later than 8 days before the start of the course. A participation fee will be charged for courses canceled after this, unless a medical certificate is presented.
