Zivkovic Tennis Academy. A tennis academy and summer camp located in Nis, Serbia.

Tennis Academy Zivkovic was founded in April 2008. The club‚Äôs owner is Nikola Zivkovic, who was a junior champion in Serbia. Later on, he continued his tennis career in Germany, first as a player and later as a coach, and got several coaching licenses. As a coach of the women’s national team under 14, he has won the world’s championship. He was declared the best coach in Serbia for 2011.

Besides him, other reputable coaches have won first places in the country, who have successful professional careers, and our physical education teachers. The club has 9 tennis courts, a multi-function hall for fitness training, apartments, a cafe-restaurant… The club has over 80 active athletes from every age group who practice daily. Many of them are champions and vice-champions of the state, both individually and in the team competition. The international competitions that should be mentioned are FUTURES (female and male), ETA (under 16 years in both competitions), and many other federal and regional competitions. Apart from our renowned coaches, here at the club, we also have a doctor, physiotherapist, sports psychologist, and conditioning coach available daily. This camp is beneficial since, during a relatively short period of time, it helps players to improve their technique of playing tennis, to make the most of their physical condition, and everything under the watchful eye of the doctor, a physical therapist who also does Kinesio taping, and sports psychologist who, in cooperation with trainers, extracts the maximum potential from each player respectively. Especially convenient is the fact that there are overnight rooms for players, a hall for training, a caf√©, a nice place for resting and socializing and a restaurant with balanced nutrition; all of that, just a few meters from tennis courts. During international competitions, ETA and FUTURE, we provide contestants staying in our rooms with a possibility of free use of tennis courts for one hour. During the ITF women‚Äôs tournament in Prokuplje (25 km from Nis), participants are provided with accommodation at our club‚Äôs lodging, where they also can practice. At the same time, the matches are held in Prokuplje. From our previous experience, we can draw the conclusion that they were more than pleased to stay in our club. They were delighted with the conditions of rooms and restaurants and the peace of this part of the city, and even more important, there are always sparring players and stringers available.
