Hi I’m Venetia and I work as an Ops Analyst in the Banking Industry. I decided to engage Banana Tennis because I wanted to seek coaching advice to improve my gameplay. Banana Tennis’s website drew me to it because it looked fun and attractive.
The procedure of getting into a group lesson with Banana Tennis was really easy as they offered flexibility, availability, location and timing.

Praveen
Father
My son has been learning from Banana Tennis/Coach Z for the past two months. My son is 9 years old and this was his first serious effort to learn tennis.
Right from the first class, he started enjoying the coaching imparted by Coach Z. The main reason was Coach Z’s attitude, easy demeanour and striking a rapport immediately with my son. While he stoops down to my child emotional level to bond with him, he also ensures that he gets the best out of my son and his assessment of my son’s game and capability is spot on.I have seen a marked difference when my son started out and his current level.
I have even increased my son coaching to twice a week from once a week due to the level of interest shown and he eagerly anticipates his training session. I would highly recommend Banana tennis to anyone interested.
Amirah Iqbal

My Banana Tennis coach is a great tennis instructor. He is methodical in his approach and is constantly working on fundamentals, which is essential for me as a beginner. I started out with no concept of techniques; after only 4 lessons, I’ve learnt the groundstroke techniques and see improvements after every lesson!
My coach also manages to keep each session fun and non repetitive. He is always punctual and patient. I highly recommend Banana Tennis to anyone looking to learn tennis!

It was important that Banana Tennis helped me start immediately and yet retain some flexibility with the lessons as I’ll be in Singapore for a short period of time.

Doctor
I truly enjoyed my time with Banana Tennis, it has been a pleasant experience thus far. Chose to engage Banana Tennis to improve my tennis game after having not played in a while and was looking for a top quality sparring partner to shake the rust off.
I’ve always played competitive tennis, less so now as I’m starting to settle into my new job and it’s been hard to find a regular timing and hitting partner to maintain my level of tennis. However, with my coach's flexible timing and high level of tennis I’ve been able to find the right hitting partner.
My coach is a very patient and encouraging coach. He gives good tips and advice which has helped me gain more confidence in my tennis game, and also helped me work on improving my backhand
Would definitely recommend Banana Tennis!

Michael
Undergrad
I had fun throughout my time and always left court feeling satisfied with my level of play and sweating out an intense workout.I’ve heard good things about Banana tennis from friends and my curiosity was piqued when I checked out their Instagram page and decided to try a couple of classes for myself.
I’ve been a competitive player for a couple of years now and I used to have a sparring partner who I would hit regularly with but due to work we have been unable to play as often. With my coach, I’ve been able to find someone to continue playing tennis at a high level and he has also helped design activities during sessions to help work around my shoulder injury, enabling me to perform consistently during our intense hitting sessions while keeping the risk of aggravating my injury low.Absolutely 100% will recommend Banana Tennis!
My coach provides great advice and is always willing to share his thoughts on how I can improve my range of shots. Thanks to Banana Tennis, I am now more confident with my newly improved tennis gameplay.
Christy
Student
It has a been a fun and pleasant experience with Banana Tennis Academy so far. Lessons were well-thought through and the coach has been fun, encouraging and friendly. I’ve played competitive tennis in JC and hall in my university, as a singles player.
Before, I was playing primarily as a base-liner and would always grind out a point in rallies staying back. Now I’ve learnt how to include attacking play into my range of tennis and finish a point at the net.Without question I would recommend this academy to Tennis players!
Ping Loh

I decided to go for tennis to help me get fit and lose some weight. I chose Banana Tennis Academy because it is very reliable and responsive whenever I have any questions or doubts.My tennis skills were just at beginner level when I first started off and I didn’t expect that I could improve that much.
With my Banana Tennis, my tennis skills has gradually improved. He is very encouraging and lots of fun to learn from.I strongly recommend Banana Tennis Academy!
Jaesung
Engineer
I have lived in Singapore since 2009 and am currently working as a engineer to develop future generation storage devices. When I first started, I googled “Singapore Tennis Lesson” and found 3 candidates whose websites are fancy, tidy, and well organized. But only Banana Tennis replied to my enquiry promptly.
My experience with Banana Tennis has been good. Since I’ve only just started my first tennis lesson, I cannot make a fair comparison but overall, I’m satisfied. The curriculum is a little aggressive to catch up but my coach was willing to listen to me carefully and tune it to fit my abilities.
Before Banana Tennis, Youtube was my teacher. However, on YouTube, the teacher never taught me what was wrong and how to fix it. However my coach did it and I can already feel that my stroke and volley is much improved.For sure I would recommend him, from beginner to intermediate level.
Kelvin Leong
Financial Consultant, Finexis Advisory
Had my first official tennis lesson with Banana Tennis Academy today.
Banana’s coach came with five dozen balls and rackets so that was a plus. Coach was informative and helpful on how I could overcome my tendencies to use a table tennis stroke through the follow through. Will book again for more lessons!

Having an avid interest in tennis for seven years, playing with all kinds of tennis groups, I came across Banana Tennis coaching team online and signed up. Within a short period of coaching with Banana Tennis, I have improved tremendously.
Unlike the other tennis coaches I had in the past, the skills and techniques are more relatable to the modern and better aggressive style of tennis which are, while quite different from what I have learnt, better. The coaches are also friendly, helpful and approachable.
Overall, I would recommend Banana Tennis coaching team to anyone who has an interest in tennis and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

I truly enjoyed my time during trainings. The tennis sessions have extremely fun, lots of activities to do and always walked away from court learning something to develop my game.

Janina
Graphic Designer, ROHEI Corporation
I’m re-learning tennis and with Banana Tennis, I feel I am learning it with the right foundations.
Our coach is very observant and vocal about how we are doing and notices every little detail. This helps us sharpen our senses and there is significant progress with every lesson. It’s also not based on a set lesson plan but customised according to our pace, with increasing levels of difficulty. It’s challenging but fun! The principles are taught strategically in a way that helps us remember the techniques and the reason behind them, and demands that we do every move correctly.
I gave up on tennis before but with this round of lessons I feel I can actually get somewhere and learn to play consistently and with skill. It’s a difficult sport to learn especially in my old age haha so I’m glad I’m learning it with these guys.
Amelia
Student
I found out about Banana Tennis on Instagram and decided to give it a try after reading some positive reviews. Trainings have been fun and there’s something always new to learn from the coach. It has been a truly great experience!
I have been playing competitive tennis for awhile but I feel more confident with my tennis strokes now. I struggled a lot with inconsistency but in a couple sessions with Coach J, I’ve made some adjustments to my swing and am happy to see significant improvement in my consistency
Would I recommend Banana Tennis to others? My answer is 2 thumbs up!

I was looking for tennis coaching for my 2 girls, 9 and 11yrs old, and I saw good reviews of Banana Tennis on social media along with the flexibility in coaching time provided played a part in my decision to engage them.
Banana Tennis provided a wonderful experience as the coaches provided were prompt, responsible and responsive. All the feedback that the coach provides after each coaching session was very detailed and helpful to my knowledge of my girls’ tennis development.
My girls started out totally new to tennis but now they are able to read the bounce of the tennis ball well, rally together with the coach and hit using proper strokes. I would definitely recommend Banana Tennis to others!
