Hayk and Markos both coach the full game at every level, from a first racket to tournament week. Where they differ is the diary — who each of them is on court with most, and the rate. Book whichever suits you, or tell us the age and level and we will say who we would put you with.
Same coaching, same standard, both of them across every level. The rate differs and the diary differs — the quality of the hour does not.
Hayk coaches every level, and spends most of his week with juniors and players starting out — patient, genuinely fun to train with, and relentless about clean fundamentals.
Markos coaches every level, and spends most of his week with 3.0-and-up players — cleaner mechanics, sharper patterns, and matches that start going the other way.
Whichever one you book, the hour covers the same ground: grips and contact point, footwork and recovery, serve, point construction, and what to do when the thing you practised stops working mid-match. Neither coach is limited to a level, and neither will hand a player on because a session turned out too advanced or too basic.
What differs is who each of them is on court with most weeks. Hayk spends most of his with children, juniors and adults picking up a racket for the first time — the work that takes the most patience and the plainest explanations. Markos spends most of his with 3.0-and-up players, tournament juniors and adults who want technical work at speed; he is the head coach, has competed internationally, and is the one who also takes hitting-partner sessions. That is what the $20 reflects.
So book either one. If the time you want is open with one of them, take it — you are not getting a lesser lesson. If you would rather we chose, tell us the player’s age and level and we will say who we would put you with, including when that is the cheaper option.

Not sure after reading that? Say so on the booking form. We would rather place you correctly than take the higher-priced booking.
Send this and it reaches the coaches directly — no marketplace, no call centre, no service fee. Most enquiries get an answer within a couple of hours during the day. If you would rather just text, that number works too.
Hayk if the player is a child, a junior building fundamentals, or an adult starting from zero — $100 an hour. Markos if the player is intermediate or above, competing, or wants serious technical and match-strategy work — $120 an hour. If you are unsure, say so when you book and we will tell you honestly, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
Because of what the hour is spent on. Markos coaches performance tennis — stroke mechanics under pressure, serve development, point construction, opponent patterns — off the back of an international competitive playing background, and he is also available as a high-level hitting partner. For a player who is fine-tuning rather than building, that hour is worth more. For a beginner, it is not, and we will say so.
Yes, and several do. A junior might work on fundamentals and consistency with Hayk during the week and do a competitive session with Markos before a tournament block. We coordinate so the two sessions are not pulling against each other.
Of course. Players move from Hayk to Markos as their level rises — that is how the program is designed to work. Just tell us when you want to make the change.
Tell us the player, the level and the part of town. We will match you to the right coach and arrange the court — usually the same day you ask.
