Training is highly specialized, incorporating advanced techniques, tactical play, and mental conditioning to enhance performance under pressure.

Program Highlights

The *Red Ball program* is the first step in a child's tennis journey, focusing on basic coordination, movement, and racquet skills. Played on smaller courts with larger, slower red balls, this level helps children:

  • High-intensity training* covering advanced stroke development and match tactics.
  • Tournament planning* and guidance for national/international events.
  • Physical conditioning* tailored for endurance, strength, and injury prevention.

High Performance - RBTA offers a High-Performance Program designed for athletes aiming to compete at elite levels. This program focuses on advanced technical skills, strategic understanding and peak physical conditioning. Participants receive guidance from experienced coaches, including Dragan Bukumirovic from Serbia and the entire program is headed by Balachandran Manikkath, Director of Tennis at RBTA.

A key highlight of the program is the involvement of Rohan Bopanna himself. When he is not traveling and competing on tour, he visits the academy to share his insights, offer guidance and inspire the players with his firsthand experience from the highest levels of the sport.
