Best tennis academies in Dubai: find options near you

Coach Standley is a great tennis coach with excellent teaching skills. He explains techniques clearly, corrects mistakes patiently, and motivates you every session. On just my 3rd session, I’m proud that I can already play tennis. 🫡 😄 Perfect coach for both beginners and advanced players.

I had a great experience with Stan! Very professional and friendly instructor! Thanks so much for a fantastic time rallying and making my vacation in Dubai worthwhile.

Stanley was such a good coach. He was patient, persevering, amazing communication with his students. We took only 3 lessons and he taught us all the main movements within these sessions. We highly recommend him.

Training with Coach Gautam has genuinely transformed my tennis. He’s an incredibly skilled and patient coach who knows exactly how to break things down in a way that actually clicks. Since working with him, my technique, control, and confidence on court have improved massively. He pays attention to the small details, corrects things in a way that makes sense, and always pushes me just the right amount. Every session feels productive, enjoyable, and tailored to what I need. Honestly, if you’re looking to level up your tennis, I can’t recommend Coach Gautam enough. I’ve improved so much since training with him, and I’m excited to keep going.

I had the opportunity to train with Stand the man for nearly a week and I am so happy with the experience. Stand the Man is an amazing coach, he really helped me to improve my ground stroke, he was so good at deciphering some of the key technical aspects of my ground strokes that allowed me to see the results immediately, when I applied them correctly. Thank you Stand for being patient and diligent with me. I most definitely recommend him. I hope to see you soon again in Dubai for more tennis sessions.

Zahra and insiyah are enjoying their tennis sessions with john sir. They wait for weekends and are excited to play either him and his team of students too. Thank you sir 😊 hopefully kids will learn to play more better and understand the tennis game better.

We were in Dubai for a week so we booked classes with Stanley as complete beginners. He taught us all the important basics with a lot of attention to the technique. His exercises were so dynamic and really helped us with understanding the technique and logic of the game. Stanley gave us a great foundation in such a short time!

Good Tables good for practice

The coaching here is excellent. They have an excellent ability to develop and nurture the player’s ability and improve the student in many ways. My son is very happy to come to the Centre for his lessons. They also helped with buying a new table tennis bat for his style of play. The robot is good fun too, serving the balls with different spins and speeds! Parking is easy and there are many places nearby for food and drink and shopping!

I needed a place to practice this lovely sport and RSA provided an excellent facility! The coaching here is also excellent. I enrolled my sister here and her improvement in a span of two weeks has been tremendous! This is an amazing place to play and meet new players and make new friends!

This is indeed a great place. Flooring, lights, tables are all brand new. This is a great place to improve your game or for young ones who wants to start playing the sport. Conveniently located and ample parking options around. Highly recommended.

It’s one of the best academies in Dubai. It’s an amazing spot to play badminton. The coaches over here are truly outstanding. They are very much supportive. The facilities over here are just amazing.

Good place to go back to the basics of Table tennis. Very good coaches who keep you interested . You will feel you are missing something in your daily routine if you do not go for one day…. Highly Recommended place and light on the pocket to learn this sport.

Excellent coaches with amazing dedication and good and clean environment…. my daughter showed vast improvement in a very short span Highly recommend

Topspin tournaments are so well organized. Fair coaches with referees in each match. Excellent & multiple courts. And systematic rules

I’ve consistently had great experiences here, and that’s largely thanks to the lady at the front desk. She’s not just nice; she goes out of her way to offer assistance and ensure everything is smooth. Her positive attitude is a huge asset to this office! Also the courts and facilities are amazing! Will surely choose Topspin as my Padel place always!

My son started his tennis journey with coach Naveed at 6 yrs old for 3 years. Starting from basics of tennis he ws taught technique, strategy, focus and discipline required in the sport. He was trained with stretches and exercises to avoid injurie and coached with the perfect balance of fun and seriousness. My son ws placed in age and skill appropriate groups making it a fun and challenging experience. The tournaments at top spin also encourage children to be competitive and grow in their tennis journey. If we didn’t have to move from Dubai, my son would never leave coach Naveed and Topspin.

TopSpin Sports Centre is a wonderful place for everybody who like sport. I spend here two wonderful weeks with my daughter . She played itf tennis tournaments. We were first time here and i hope we will return here many times more. Here you can find everything you need for sport: good tennis and padel courts,cafe,stringing,showers,nice lounge zone. I will recomend this club for all my friends. Thanks for the best tournaments organization!

Excellent courts and facilities! Lovely atmosphere as well, with a cafe, showers, bathrooms etc.

My son has been training with Coach Naveed at Topspin facility in Oud Metha. Coach Naveed is extremely disciplined himself, thus kids get imbibe this value first hand. He is perfect in imparting technical skills, provides match practice and ensures kids have fun during sessions. The facilities are good and great atmosphere. Highly recommended for kids, adults

I’ve been training with Coach Naveed for 2 years, and he’s really helped me level up my tennis. My serve has gotten way better, and he’s helped me improve my backhand and other weaknesses. He’s super patient but also pushes me to work hard. I’m 15 now and can see a huge difference in my game thanks to him. Totally recommend Abdur

The worse place to come and play. No management and no one to receive you. The what’s app person you book through is different and the in person manager is different. The in person manager was not at the property so I was talking to a lady online and she was coordinating with the manager who was unavailable and the manager was coordinating with the security. Who eventually after 20 mins took me to the court with no net. Pathetic!

I recently trained at Pro Tennis Academy Dubai and had an incredible experience! The coaches, Sanjeet, Aman, and Dou Dou, are dedicated, skilled, and experienced. They created a positive and motivating environment that helped me improve my tennis game. Sanjeet’s knowledge, Aman’s personalized approach, and Dou Dou’s enthusiasm were exceptional. I highly recommend Pro Tennis Academy Dubai for top-notch training. Thank you to the coaches for their dedication!

I had the great privilege to train with one of the owners, Abbas, who is an exceptionally talented person and a professional, who has built an amazing tennis academy with great and truly motivating trainers. Such a wonderful experience! Thank you.

Nice place for tennis. I truly recommend our coach Vlad!!! He is the best coach I have ever met.

Think carefully before prepaying for lesson packages. I purchased a 10-lesson package after one trial lesson. During my second lesson, I injured my wrist and required medical imaging (X-ray and MRI). My doctor advised me to stop playing tennis for at least one month. I explained my medical situation and requested a refund for the 8 unused lessons. The school refused, citing their no-refund policy – even for medical reasons with doctor’s documentation. The school keeps 100% of prepaid money regardless of circumstances. Once you pay, consider that money non-recoverable. I find this policy extremely unfair, especially given my circumstances. I paid in good faith and cannot use the service due to a medical issue that occurred while taking their lessons. I will not be returning to this school.

If you are looking to have a hit and anywhere in Dubai get in touch with PRO Tennis academy who have 17 locations within Dubai and many coaches to cater to different level of players.

amazing tennis academy, playing only for 8 months and the coaches made me like a pro and the staff are really friendly.

Clean place , good quality tables and rackets are also available that’s a great perk. Coaches are very professional for training.

The best place to play and practice table tennis ins Dubai! Hamza and the staff are amazing, welcoming and accommodating, great atmosphere and great people, super fun!

Nice facility. Bad attitude of attendant. Facility was closed when we came, had to call and wake him up. He warned us of time while we still have more than half hour to play. The place was empty, we want to extend but he want us gone.

Very nice place and nice people to play with. Hamza the owner is a great guy and table tennis enthusiasts. Has become my favorite spot for table tennis now.

Great space to play tennis. The owner hamza is really a good guy. Must visit spot!!

Searching for the perfect place to play table tennis in Al Barsha, my husband and I discovered Spin and Smash Table Tennis Academy. I messaged them through Instagram and Whatsapp — response was like sooo quick. We got booked the next day. The location is easy to find with ample parking available. I specially liked how clean and tidy the playing area was. As amateur players, we were initially shy playing among pros, but the sheer passion of the other players around us was just infectious, so we enjoyed playing at our own pace. I actually won against my husband for the first time here, such a milestone 🤣 For anyone in Al Barsha, Barsha Tecom, or Al Khail looking for a welcoming place to enjoy table tennis, Spin and Smash is the ideal venue. I highly recommend it!

If you’re looking for an academy to play or learn table tennis and you found this, don’t hesitate, it’s a good choice, tables are good, you can feel the high level the coaches have from the first set, they offer water and rackets, and my level has increased, just by playing for one month, maybe the price isn’t the best thing, but still fine

My tennis coach is amazing. He is very kind, patient, and always explains things in a way I can understand. He helps me feel confident and pushes me to get better without making me feel stressed. I’ve improved a lot because of him, and training with him is always a good experience. I truly recommend him to anyone who wants to get better at tennis.

OM is excellent tennis coach with great professionalism and patience. He explains techniques very clearly and tailors each session to my skill level and goals. His training is well-structured, motivating, and always focused on real improvement.

Just wanted to give a very positive review for Coach Arafat in Albarsha South-Dubai.He was really patient with me since I am 1st timer and no training in tennis. He was informative and I felt like I picked things up quickly with his way of teaching. His positive reinforcement and passion for the game make me want to push myself to do better Taking lessons from Coach Arafat has helped me so much. He is very friendly and patient, and totally passionate about tennis. He’s helped me with my consistency, backhand and forehand form, and game strategy. He is always offering tips or positive comments. I’d recommend him to anyone of any level as a tennis teacher. He is a treasure!»

I had an exceptional experience with Coach Aditya. His expertise and personalized approach significantly improved my tennis skills. Aditya’s dedication, clear communication, and motivational style create a positive and encouraging learning environment. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their game.

I have been playing tennis 6month with the coach Aditya is very friendly and the classes are interesting and I’m improving very fast! My 9y.o. son also started to do tennis with Aditya and he likes classes so much.

Wonderful academy! My son has one to one lessons coaches are enthusiastic and full of energy they make the training sessions varied mixed with games! Always keeping it interesting and fun my son loves coming his coach Vikas has been wonderful very flexible he’s and good communication ahead of the week to confirm timings and dates of sessions ! Also good value for money

Played with 4 coaches. Have improved a lot since 6 months. Definitely recommend trying this academy. Puru is really a great coach.

Today is just my 4th session here in Safa British School tennis court and I could say that I learned a lot from Coach Amrender Arya. Proper handling of the grip, positioning and timing before hitting the ball from forehands and backhands are totally basic but it means a lot when we are playing the tennis. Its a whole new thing to me as a beginner, but Coach Arya is patiently teaching in a very professional way and Im really motivated the way how he teach us day by day and I am very excited on our schedules and I will definitely continue to learn and share my experience to others. The booking also is very flexible ,he responded promptly. Thank you. Maribeth Caballero (Dubai Duty Free)

I’ve been taking tennis lessons with Amrender for about two months now, and he is truly ONE OF THE BEST coaches I’ve ever had. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about tennis, and I really feel that energy in every session. I also want to mention Supreet. He was my first tennis coach in Dubai, and he was amazing too. He later moved to another location that’s a bit far for me, so he introduced me to Amrender. Both of them are FANTASTIC coaches! I’m not fully proud of my tennis progress yet, but that’s not because of them. I know two months of lessons won’t magically turn me into Jannik Sinner😄… but I’m still dreaming! 🎾🥳

We’ve just started sessions for my 7 year old daughter, and so far am very impressed. Excellent coaching style, engaging for the kids, professional interactions, attention to detail, and a good balance of technical coaching while making it fun and enjoyable fkr children. Recommended.

I have played under Coach Amrinder, and honestly, he is a very good coach. He is supportive, professional, and always motivates players to give their best. His training methods really help improve skills and confidence. Highly recommended

I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Supreet, and it’s been an awesome experience. He keeps the vibe upbeat and fun while making sure we focus on improving my game. He’s got a great way of explaining techniques so they actually stick, and he’s super patient…. when I’m still getting the hang of certain shots. Honestly, after training with him, I feel way more confident on the court and can already see real progress in my game.

Coach Amrinder is an excellent coach. I have trained and played with him, and his guidance has helped me improve a lot. He focuses on discipline, fitness, and technique. Very friendly and dedicated.

My kids and I play with coach Amrender! He is using a very structured and pedagogical approach which helped my kids improving in no time! Very happy with his coaching and definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn real technical skills in tennis

Deep Academy is one of the pioneers in UAE for Table Tennis Coaching, established since 2010 and produced top players across the region. The Academy is well equipped with modern TT amenities, very professional coaches, and trainers. A strongly recommended Academy for Beginners, intermediates, and even the top players. Groups can also come and play on an hourly basis (45 AED/Hr)

DEEP SPORTS – Table Tennis Academy is an amazing place to play table tennis. Top-notch facilities, friendly staff, and expert coaching for all skill levels. Whether you want to play competitively or just improve your hobby, this is the perfect spot.

Deep Sports is an excellent academy for Table Tennis. They have very experienced and good coaches who take care of every minute detail. Both my kids have learnt table tennis from there and have enjoyed thoroughly 👍

Went there today to practice table tennis. It’s in the Al Sharafi building. Just take the elevator to the 3rd floor. There’s a big paid parking lot behind the building (10 aed per hour). It’s also possible to enter the building from that parking lot. One of the 4 exits / entries to the Al Fahidi metro station is literally outside the entrance to the building. The table tennis facilities are ok at best. The room is really hot and the AC can’t follow up during the crazy Dubai summers. The one room just fits 5 tables but there isn’t really much room for standing back from the tables. It’s easily gets really loud when all tables are being used depending on the people there of course (mostly kids screaming and shouting) The floor is a mix of proper rubber and the original wood floor. Many places the floor is uneven. The place could use a renovation for sure.. Cost is 20 aed per hour which is fair. Very friendly and welcoming crowd, some really talented players come here. From what I understood it’s open on weekdays from 7pm to 9pm. On weekends I’m not fully sure, but I was there from about 1pm to 3pm and the place was packed.

Deep sports academy is very good in TT training and the facilities are also good including the coaches.

I am having a great experience training at Deep Sports Table Tennis Academy. The coaches are professional, knowledgeable, and tailor sessions to your skill level. The facilities are excellent, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I am already seeing significant improvements. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, this academy is a fantastic place to improve your skills.

Had a great time playing table tennis at the academy. Even got a short coaching session. I definitely recommend to check-out this place while in Dubai.

I’ve had a fantastic experience at Racket Academy Dubai, and I have to say — Coach Ana is simply the best. She combines deep technical knowledge with incredible energy and positivity on court. Her sessions are well-structured, intense, and always tailored to your level, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. What really stands out is her attention to detail and her ability to quickly spot and correct small things that make a big difference in your game. Beyond that, she creates a great atmosphere — professional, motivating, and fun at the same time. Highly recommend both Racket Academy Dubai and especially Coach Ana if you want to seriously improve your level.

Every time I visit Dubai I book many hours with Motor City. Excellent service. They book me on the best courts like the Atlantis, the Royal, or the Waldorf. Friendly trainers and very professionals. Especially Ana Gavrilovici. Ask for her when you call👍

I tried them the first time in the 30min free orientation and social night sessions. Had a great time. Coach Oliver (Ollie) is very help helpful and encouraging. I only wish the courts are in a better condition. There were many bumps, and as I was bouncing the ball at the service line, it would change trajectory due to small hidden bump. Others bumps are all around, you can see them or feel them as you move around the court.

Fantastic tennis academy with different locations around Dubai. Coach Martin was very professional yet gentle, focusing on technique improvement and strength. I tried this location in Motor City, inside Green Community, very nice environment and high quality courts. Free parking. 100% would recommend.

Amazing lessons with Ana, both at Atlantis and Waldorf. I started from the basics and progressed quickly thanks to her clear guidance and structured approach. She explains techniques in a simple, practical way and focuses on building real confidence on the court. In a short time, I went from playing like a complete amateur to actually understanding the game, positioning, and how to hit quality shots with intention. If you want to learn properly and enjoy tennis at the same time, Ana is an excellent coach.

Coach Ana is the top top top best coach this place has. I used 3 and she’s by far the most fun, serious and great at teaching you what it is you need to do to improve. Super grateful to her

I trained with Ana in Atlantis the royal, she’s outstanding.

Coach Santi was amazing every session was fun, engaging, and very informative. The facilities were great as well, and I really enjoyed completing the 3-session coaching package. My only concern is the scheduling and communication. Responses can be very slow, the only time it was fast when they needed another person to complete the group session they message me immediately. But most of the time I often had to follow up multiple times just to get schedule. After finishing my package, I asked to book more sessions and was told someone would contact me, but it’s been over a week with no response. It’s a shame because the coaching itself is excellent, and I even referred two friends. If they improve their scheduling and customer communication, the overall experience would be much better.

Tennis 360 is a great place to learn to play tennis, or to meet like minded people who have an interest in this great game and like to have a hit. The courts are really well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful. When booking courts, I have spoken to Greg, who always replies back quickly. Shout out to Mustafa who is my coach twice a week and is giving me never ending pointers on how to improve my game. I have been playing in the socials, and the challenge events, and with my coaching I’ve noticed some huge improvements in my game. Recommend for anyone who wants to be part of a tennis community.

An outstanding tennis academy with top-notch coaching and a great atmosphere. I’ve had a fantastic experience training here — the facilities are well-maintained, the sessions are well-structured, and the focus on individual improvement is clear from day one. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this academy delivers on all fronts. A special thank you to Coach Ahmed for his incredible guidance, patience, and dedication. His passion for the game and attention to detail make every session enjoyable and productive. He’s not just a great coach, but a true motivator who brings out the best in every player. Highly recommend this place for anyone serious about improving their game in a supportive and professional environment.

Amazing place i love everything about it – im a regular there . All their coaches are quite experienced and each has a different style in coaching which is perfect to diversify. Admin staff is super friendly and they always know how to make you feel welcomed. The host nicely managed tournaments and great place to socially connect, play and learn.

Very disappointed with the overall experience. Communication with reception is extremely difficult, they often mix up booking times, seem inattentive, and sometimes don’t respond for days. It makes scheduling unnecessarily stressful. It’s already the end of April, and there are still no indoor courts available, only outdoor ones. With the heat and humidity, this makes playing quite uncomfortable. On top of that, all evening slots are always fully booked, so it’s nearly impossible to find a convenient time. They also always require prepayment to confirm bookings, which would be understandable if the service level matched, but unfortunately, it doesn’t. The coaches are excellent, and honestly that’s the only positive aspect. Unfortunately, everything else falls short. Customer service is basically non-existent.

If you are visiting Dubai, don’t miss dropping by this amazing Tennis Club in proximity to the famous Meydan Racecourse Track!

The courts are quite expensive considering the overall experience — starting with the booking process via WhatsApp and the high rate for an outdoor court. Many tennis courts in Dubai now offer mobile app bookings, are located in central and convenient areas, and charge around 30–35% less. I’m giving two stars for the atmosphere, as it’s a nice place to socialize on weekends or after a game. However, paying a premium price while having to go through a WhatsApp conversation each time — often waiting for a reply only to be told there’s no availability — doesn’t feel like good value for money. If you are a true Tennis player looking for a court to play regularly, I wouldn’t advise this one as you will find cheaper and more convenient courts to book. If you looking for a fun time to spend and socialise, with you friends and family, yes you may pay premium for that here. There are other tennis clubs in Dubai that are easier to book and more reasonably priced.
