Catala Sport teaches tennis, pickleball and beach tennis in Hong Kong, for children and adults, at every level. Real technique, taught properly, from the first lesson.
Where Ambitions Meet Results
From a child's first lesson to an adult sharpening a competitive game.
Every coach follows the same standard. Same technique, same attention to detail, whichever coach or venue you get.
Technique first. Then the tactics that turn technique into results on court.
Private and group lessons for children, adults and competitive juniors. Junior lessons follow our ball-progression path. Played on covered courts, rain or shine, at SCAA, Victoria Park and other Hong Kong venues.
Pickleball technique, court positioning and strategy, on covered courts at SCAA. For beginners and competitive players alike.
Small groups, real court time, on covered courts at SCAA. Fast footwork, sharp reflexes, quick improvement.
Junior tennis follows the standard ball-progression system. Court size and ball speed match the child's stage, so technique is learned right the first time.
Mini court, soft slow ball. Ages 4–7. Builds confidence from the first rally.
Three-quarter court. Ages 8–9. More movement, more shot variety.
Full court, lighter ball. Ages 9–10. Closer to full match pace.
Full court, full ball. Ages 10+. The standard competitive game.
Ages are typical starting points. Coaches place each child by readiness, not age.
Adult coaching starts with an honest read of where your game is, then builds a plan around it, whether that's your first lesson or your next tournament.
New to the sport, or returning after time away. Focus on grip, footwork and the basic strokes, at a pace that builds real confidence.
Comfortable rallying. Coaching sharpens consistency, shot selection and movement, so points stop ending on unforced errors.
Match-focused training: tactics, fitness and mental game, for players competing regularly or training toward it.
David and Lucas built Catala Sport around one goal: every student improving, lesson by lesson. That focus shapes every coach we hire and every session we run.
