Your Primary Coach
Train With the Best
in Hawaiʻi
Honza Hroch
$120 / hour · Available Mon–FriWith over 20 years of experience teaching tennis and pickleball, Honza knows that no two players learn the same way. That's why every session is built entirely around you — your strengths, your weaknesses, your goals. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here.
He has coached pros like Jaume Martinez Vich and Marcel Chan — but his real passion is helping everyday players fall deeper in love with the sport and see real, measurable improvement on the court.
In 2025, Honza became fully certified — not because a certificate makes a coach, but because it comes with liability insurance and holds the academy to the highest professional standard.

Why Private Lessons
The Fastest Way
to Get Better
When you book a private lesson, every single minute is about you. No waiting for your turn. No generic drills. No adjusting to someone else's pace. Just one coach, focused entirely on what you need most.
Our philosophy is straightforward: if you don't feel like you're improving, you shouldn't keep taking lessons. We only ask for your time and money if we're genuinely adding value to your game.
Most students see noticeable improvement
in their very first session.
Faster Progress
With undivided attention, your coach pinpoints exactly what you need — whether it's your serve, footwork, or match strategy.
Personalized Curriculum
Every lesson is built around your learning style and goals. What works for someone else may not be what you need.
Proven Results
We've taken absolute beginners from zero to confident — and helped advanced players sharpen their tournament game.
Lasting Value
Many of our students come through referrals. When people see real results, they send their friends and family.
