KPM Tennis Academy is based in Middelburg Mpumalanga at the Middelburg Country Club. Our academy offers a high-performance tennis and fitness regime for all players competing [beginners, juniors and professional tennis players.  Our players start training from as young as 2 years old.

We have a team of dedicated coaches who use technical and tactical development skills to each player’s needs.  Skills such as hand-eye coordination, agility, serving, forehand and backhand, footwork, open skills, confidence and so much more.  All our players are advised on goal setting when they begin training at KPM.  Tennis is a sport of psychological endurance and is as much of a mental game as it is a physical game.  

KPM Academy hosts large tennis tournaments on a quarterly basis, these events are sanctioned by Tennis South Africa.  Our players are given the opportunity to play in tournaments all over South Africa. 

As KPM Academy we have achieved a lot in terms of our sporting services. We have won trophies and awards ranking us as one of the best. One of the players we coached achieved the highest national ranking of 29 in the u/16 girls category in the year 2011 and currently our highest national ranking is 19 in the girls U/12.  Phathizwe Mabuza who was the national coach for U/12’s and guided the U/12 national tennis team to a bronze position in the African Junior Championships in Morocco. We also have an achiever who has been to Australia to represent the U/15 girls’ team in South Africa.  Our head coach Phathizwe Mabuza is currently the South African U/16 National Tennis Coach.

The academy has been working with groups of all ages and mindsets for more than 18 years now.  Our students are hardworking and we believe we will reach more milestones and amazing achievements as we grow.  

Netball at KPM is a place where girls from u/7 to u/13 can come to improve their netball skills. We keep our groups small to make sure each player receives the amount of time to improve her skills.

Our goal is to start with improvement of basic skills which include passing, catching and footwork. Other skills that we thrive to improve is agility, shooting a goal, hand-eye coordination, vision and plyometrics.
​
At this stage we are doing the sessions at the Middelburg country club tennis courts, as well as at the Blitsbal arena if it rains, so you will not miss a session even if the weather is not what is normally required.
​
We had kids in the past who before they joined were not selected for a team not even the C-team and after two terms of netball sessions, they were selected into teams.

We also had a player who played B-team for most of her school netball career and then after a years’ sessions she played for her schools A-team.
​
KPM netball really works towards improving netball in Middelburg. We would like to make sure every netball player feels that she has worked hard towards her goal. Whether it is being selected to play at school, or just to be a part of a group of girls who train netball together.
