Essendon Tennis club is a great family club and a fantastic place to play and be around. Vida Tennis coach kids of all ages and I have never seen a kid leave without a smile. Kids are in a great learning environment and have a great time with friends. coaches are also very supportive and have amazing work ethic.

Ashleigh Richardson is as excellent and thorough tennis coach there is. She excels at all levels from beginners just starting out to advanced players trying enhance their game. Ash is also great at making sure each individualised lesson or group session is coordinated in a way that’s super beneficial yet fun at the same time. After taking lessons with Ash I couldn’t recommend a more competent and accomplished coach!

Vida Tennis Essendon is a great tennis club with supporting coaches surrounding you, creating a positive atmosphere towards each other. I highly recommend joining and participating in a enjoyable tennis experience at Essendon Vida Tennis Club.

Former student & current coach
Each year I come to Australia for the Australian Open in Melbourne and get the chance to catch up with my long time friend who now is the director of Vida Tennis. Over the years I have meet many of the Vida Team, as well as junior players. It is great to see the team so passionate about tennis and supporting the kids to achieve their goals. In the 2013 Australian Open they brought the students to watch some matches during the Australian Open and filled half the stand during my match, it was great to play in front of them. I will miss coming to Melbourne each year once I retire but I hope there is a few more opportunities yet.

Ryan has been my coach for 6 years now and we followed him to Vida Tennis Essendon. His lessons are high intensity, fun and his knowledge of technique and tactical advice is better than any other coach I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t be half as good as I am now if Ryan wasn’t my coach. He cares about my development and he often takes the time to come and watch my matches. He definitely is the best coach! I love playing at Vida Tennis Essendon and even travel to play for the club as it’s such a welcoming and fun environment and all the coaches are knowledgeable and make playing fun.

A terrific place for children to learn the game of tennis and have fun. I was fortunate to train with Vida through my teenage years and then transitioned into coaching with the Vida Team. I learned so much on and off the court and found the environment just a great place to be.

Former Student & Coach
If your looking for that professionally run tennis destination with that special touch of “warm family fun”, then Vida Tennis is the place to be! Kane and his staff pride themselves on delivering each and every person that walks through the gate first class service on and off the court. If you are a first-time beginner or a world-class professional, Vida Tennis has a spot for you. I guarantee you will have a ton of fun the moment you step through the doors!

I have had the most wonderful experience with Ash and the team at Vida. All the coaches know their students by name (and students they don’t even coach), my skills have improved so much that I am now playing in a social competition and the sessions are always tailored to develop us. Thanks again!

Wonderful tennis club! Ash and all the coaching staff make lessons so enjoyable. My children love being coached here. This family-friendly club caters for all skill levels and all ages. Great facilities too. Highly recommended.

Signing my daughter up to Vida tennis was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Ashleigh and all the coaches are exceptional! My daughter counts down the days until her class each week and as soon as she finishes her lesson she always tells me how much fun she had and how much she enjoyed it. We couldn’t be happier with Vida! Amazing! Definitely recommend!
