Love iconic sports halls? Always wanted to learn how to play tennis? With charming coaches, Misha and Ieva, from The Beyond Berlin, you’ll learn how to skillfully switch between forehand and backhand, play your first rally, and (almost) always hit the ball in Berlin’s oldest sports hall on Columbiadamm. And all without any elitist posturing. Never held a tennis racket before? Don’t worry! In the “Tennis from Scratch” class, you can learn the basics of tennis in a relaxed atmosphere, even if you don’t have a racket or suitable indoor shoes. For a small rental fee, the “Berliner Turngemeinde” will provide you with all the equipment you need for your tennis lessons. Give tennis a go with The Beyond’s open-minded and welcoming community and take on a new challenge — whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced player. Depending on your experience level, you can choose between different classes such as “Tennis from Scratch”, “Cardio Tennis” or “Let’s Rally”. You’ll learn the basics of movement, how to put your existing tennis knowledge into practice, how to control the court with confidence, how to improve your skills, and, above all, how to have fun playing. Every week, choose between various courses and put together your training plan. Being a beginner has never been so fun!
