Tennis Academy

We are not a tennis Academy,we are team of 8 people taking care about max 4 players in PRO program.

The idea of The Haron tennis team is to offer the most efficiant and complete solutions for creating top level junior players.

We have formed a team:

4 Professional tennis trainers, 2 physical trainers, a team of physiotherapists and a sports psychologist

The entire team takes care of maximum 4 players in the PRO program.

We have provided both clay and hard courts, for optimal performances of the players.

Our location makes Tennis club Haron stand out from the others in competition. There are many TE and ITF tournaments in the environment; there is a great air traffic connection to all destinations in Europe. On the other hand, being outside of the EU administrative zone makes us much cheaper than any other similar program in the EU. In such conditions, you could save more financial resources for travelling to tournaments of good quality.

The results of the players who have attended our program demonstrate our efficiency in the best way:

- Miomir Kecmanovic , attended the program in the period 11-13 years, currently 1st junior of the world
As a small boy, I enjoyed training tennis with Ivan, as well as attending tournaments. He taught me a lot about tennis, in his calm manner, making no fuss about it. He has always been very supportive; we worked hard, but also had a lot of fun.? He taught me two very important lessons. First, you have to face all your fears if you want to excell: I didn't like to play with a particular boy who was a tricky player and a nasty fellow, at the same time not very well ranked; to lose from him seemed extremely embarrassing and discouraging. Ivan realized that and kept bringing us together to play. I was very upset at the begining and I wanted to cry every time. As we went on playing together, it was getting easier,and as a result I started winning smoothly. Second, he taught me to make difference between a shot and a player. He used to say that it wasn't enough to hit the ball properly, but also to have a plan and to win by playing wisely. Last but not the least, Ivan organised relaxing trips and entertainment for us after tornaments, which used mean a lot to me. Even today I like to pop in to see how the things are and train with Ivan.
- Olga Danilovic, attended the program in the period 11-14, future 1st junior of the world

- Francesca Curmi, attended the program in the period 11-15, attended Masters for 8 best juniors in Europe up to 14 years, in 2016

Francesca Curmi born 2002 from Malta (today ranked 305 ITF Juniors) attended Tennis Club Haron for nearly 3 years from the tender age of 12 to late 14. During the period she was trained under the head coach and owner Mr. Ivan Pekovic. Ivan's eye for detail not only enabled Francesca to have polished ground strokes but also thought Francesca how to become an aggressive tennis player. I myself, as a parent have cherished and still cherish both the advice and encouragement Ivan has and still gives me throughout this journey. Tennis is a very hard sport, with many varied success and unsuccessful routes; so, to have genuine expertise along the way is truly appreciated.

During her stay at Haron, Francesca played various Tennis Europe and local tournaments, Francesca won many tournaments and even was selected to take part in under 14 TE Masters.

Ivan knows the tennis journey and what it takes to become a professional tennis player and has always believed in Francesca and it's what kept us going when times got tough, every player goes through tough times, after all it's a long journey so all sort of things happen along the way both bad and good.

I strongly recommend Tennis Club Haron, it's not only very professional and friendly; but even better its very cost effective when one compares its cost to other European destinations that offer such a service. I love boutique, its small, its personal, it comes with outsourced physical, mental and physiotherapy experts. One of its more important attributes is that it also comes with the strong character of the Serbian people that has no doubt helped Francesca become the strong tennis player she is today.

I practiced with Ivan Petković between age of 15 and 18, and I won my first ATP point at the age of 16. Ivan is an excellent coach, and, above all, a good man. I practiced every day with pleasure, and he taught me many things on and off the court. We worked a lot on my forehand and on my service, which I significantly improved. Long conversations which we had helped me a lot on mental level, because I used to be nervous. In good and bad times he was giving me support in the best possible way. I enjoyed some of my best moments in tennis club Haron, we worked a lot and very hard there, but the atmosphere in the club gives you wings for improvement.

I was practicing with the Haron Tennis academy during three days in May. Haron Tennis Academy is a really serious tennis academy, thinking about all different aspects of the players development. I will for sure come back.
