Family atmosphere

Pepe Imaz Tennis is unlike a conventional academy style training facility.
Players at academy's often feel lost and alone, just part of a big factory,
which is exactly why we only ever have a small group of no more than 8 to 10 players.
Through our philosophy it is very important to us that the team feels very much like a family.

For a player to be part of the group, everyone must feel comfortable with one another.
So both the coaches and players must have a good feeling with the new person looking to join.
Vice versa it's equally important for the new player to feel comfortable with everyone in the group.
Without this balance and harmony, we can not have the family atmosphere that we do. 

We always do our best to travel together to competitions, with at least one of our coaches traveling with
the players, helping them to grow and to continue learning and improving on the road. 

Because we are such a small group, everything each player does is for their own specific growth as a person and as a player. Therefore there is never any time wasted on the court; unlike at many academies where players find themselves doing drills just because they're told to do so. For this reason we often practice tennis no more than 2 hours a day depending on what each individual player needs.

Barry is from Ireland, trained with Pepe for 7 years reaching a very high level of professional tennis.
During these years he developed a great understanding of the work that Pepe does.
This has enabled him to be the ideal assistant coach to continue the work that Pepe has set even when Pepe can't be around.
Furthermore at only 28 years of age Barry still holds a very high level of tennis
and often plays in the group to help with specific drills and points play.
