A new tennis school will open soon near Lausanne, aimed at children aged between 4 and 14 years old.
Called My Way Tennis, the school will be headed up by Monika Maj, a former Swiss junior singles champion who played regularly with Martina Hingis, and represented Switzerland at many international junior tournaments.
The first course of lessons will run from 2nd May until 3rd July and will cover mini tennis (ages 4-6) and Junior tennis (ages 7-14). A Summer school is also planned for later in the year.
Originally from Poland, but having lived in Switzerland for 30 years, Monika is passionate about tennis, which she started playing at the young age of 6. With her natural ability for the sport, she received the first of her three junior championship titles at the age of 12.
However, at the age of 15, she retired from competitive sport due to the high pressure of intense training and decided to continue with her educational studies. Having passed her maturity exams and started working at Reuters in Geneva, she soon found the lure of tennis too great and returned to the courts, training with Swiss Tennis to become a coach.
After teaching tennis for many years in Geneva, and marrying a British ex-pat living in Lutry (where she lives currently with her 8 month old son), Monika has now decided the best way to combine her passion for tennis with her family life is to set up a school in Lutry! Her new classes will be held on a court in the heart of Lutry old village, on the corner of Rue Friporte and Rue de Vevey.
Commenting on the new school, Monika says, “Whilst I am keen to pass on my knowledge of tennis at competition level, I believe it is essential to maintain a sense of enjoyment in the sport at all times. Children who join my classes can be sure of having lots of fun, as well as the opportunity to progress to higher levels of competitive tennis should they wish it.”
