Why 10is Academy ?
At 10is Academy we believe in the power of sport, in particular tennis, and the positive impact it can have. We believe in our players and always see their abilities and potential. We are here to help them take action and gain confidence in their own capacity.
We are dedicating our life to inspire players to reach their full potential, to push their limits but at the same time to never forget that tennis is a game and must be enjoyable.
We want to revolutionise how tennis clubs are run and offer the best coaching available to our members and tell them that it is never too late to learn and/or improve.
What we are building is different. Our Academy is not driven by trophies or awards, but rather your desire to keep on learning and become the best you can be. Trophies and awards are a consequence of your hardwork, your resilience, your desire to always do the right thing especially when nobody is watching.
The best Ely Tennis Club in Cambridgeshire
Respect, enjoyment and challenge
The 10is Academy you know and love comes without judgement on how good or bad you are, we are not driven by public likes or looking over our shoulder to see what others do - 10is Academy is a space that is free of judgment - to experiment, to explore, to reflect, to be bold, to dare, to be you.
Our club is a community where everyone should feel safe. Our club is based on respect and understanding, while also celebrating the different cultures, perspectives and value that make us human. And most of all our club is all about growth; which comes every time you challenge yourself.
Professional tennis in your back-garden
While our tennis lessons for children and adults are a place for self-expression and fun, we have created a methodology to help you improve as quickly as possible. The 10is methodology follows a proven system from several world class coaches. Our individual and technical group sessions have been created under the tutorial of Toni Nadal and Louis Cayer.
Our classes will help you develop your tennis skills to achieve your maximum potential despite your busy daily life. With 10is Academy you will learn the secrets to achieve greater performance in no time.
Vision & Mission Statement
Our vision is ‘To make tennis fun and accessible to all’.
Our mission is to create a playful world through tennis for everyone, to grow tennis by making it relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable. We’re developing tennis in Ely, from grassroots participation through to performance level.
Tennis is an amazing sport. Anyone can play; whatever your motivation or ability, from all communities and backgrounds. At any age and for a whole lifetime, tennis provides physical, social and mental rewards both on and off the court.
We want tennis to be open to as many people as possible, across the Fens.
We are here to help you to pick up a racket, whether it’s for the first time, or the first time in a while. We want to enable men and women of all ages and abilities to play more often, all year round.
Starting early is crucial to playing for the long-term but not essential: it is Never Too Late to learn tennis and play it at a high standard.
We want parents to join their child on court and we will do what it takes to make it as easy as possible for families across the Fens to choose tennis.
We are committed to delivering a clear pathway for your development – from starter sessions with our brilliant accredited coaches, to first-class support with our Mastery classes. Our Player Pathway is designed to find and nurture you and the next generation of local champions, with a particular focus on enabling you compete locally, in the county or even internationally (if that is your goal).
Why tennis ?
☑️ It’s a Life-Time Sport: Unlike most sports, tennis can be played at any age. You don’t see many 60, 70, or even 80-year-olds playing tackle football or running up and down a football pitch. But many retirees still play and enjoy the game of tennis. It is a game that can be played easily with friends of all ages and all fitness levels!
☑️ Tennis is a generational sport: Some things run in the family, and sports is certainly one of them. Tennis is one of those generational sports. At the clubs, you’ll find a number of families that have several generations of tennis players. By playing together as a family, your children will also take an interest in what you love, and perhaps they’ll continue to pass it on one day.
☑️ It boosts Brain Power:Think of tennis as a zero calorie brain food! Playing tennis can improve critical thinking, mental alertness, and tactical thinking by making connections in the brain. Tennis helps regulate serotonin—a brain chemical linked to functions such as sleep cycle, appetite, and your emotional state. Having trouble sleeping or keeping your emotions in check? Hit the court!
☑️ It improves Agility, Flexibility and Balance: Have you ever watched tennis on TV and the players are constantly stretching and reaching to keep a ball in play? Tennis is a sport where you are constantly moving, changing direction and stretching your body. By playing tennis on a regular basis, you will also notice an improvement in agility and flexibility.
☑️ It helps with weight Loss: Tennis is a great cardio workout, especially if you’re playing singles. You’re constantly running, pivoting, stretching, and moving every inch of your body. According to the American Dietetic Association, recreational players can burn an estimated 600 to 1,320 calories per two-hour singles sessions while competitive players can burn between 768 to 1,728 calories.

Before chosing a coach, do some research.
- Is the coach LTA Level 2 qualified or above? If yes, then you know he/she is trained to coach tennis.
- Is the coach at least LTA Level 2? Level 2 is the minimum LTA entry for group coaching and Level 3 for one-to-one coaching (Level 1 are Coach Assistants only with a basic technical knowledge and are not insured by the LTA for one-to-one lessons).
- Has the coach got a website? Very often coaches will have their own website where they can give more information on their experience, extra qualifications and courses attended (i.e. Strength & conditioning, time spent with international level coaches, etc...), philosophy, and many more. Not all qualified coaches are equal, hence the importance of learning more before chosing your coach.
- Is the coach LTA Accredited? if yes, then you know they have a current DBS, 1st Aid, safeguarding and child protection trained and insured.
