🏅 Why the Method Works

Created by Florent, Co-Founder & Head Coach — built from the frustrations of years without real progress.

Scientific Training Structure

Progressive daily cycle: technique → repetition → match-play → video analysis.

Partner Matching

Training is adapted to each player's level, helping every participant progress effectively and enjoy competitive sessions.

Small Exclusive Groups

Only 9 players per camp across 3 courts for true individual attention.

Consistent Coaching

The same FIP-certified coaches stay with the group for the entire camp. They also spend time with participants off the court, allowing them to get to know each player and follow their development throughout the camp.

Progress Tracking

Measurable drills, clear feedback, and visible improvement, culminating in a personalized written and video report covering each participant's level and progress.

Holistic Performance Approach

Technique, tactics, mindset, conditioning, and recovery — all aligned.
