Collective
Tennis School – A.S. Asteras Thessaloniki
Collective Tennis School is a coaching team founded in the summer of 2014 by Konstantinos Vouroukos and Giorgos Kakalos (Physical Education teachers with coaching licenses, responsible for the competitive and high-performance departments, as well as the entire coaching program).
The goal was to create and offer high-level coaching services for all ages and skill levels, ranging from juniors and adults who are just getting to know the sport, to high-level athletes and professionals from all regions of the country—and beyond.
At the same time, another aim of the coaching team was to support academies and clubs that wish to develop and improve their athletic programs for both athletes and members.
Believing in this vision and seeking to contribute to its realization, in 2022 the Asteras Thessaloniki Sports Club was established, composed of individuals who love tennis and are eager to contribute to it.
The club’s entire coaching staff consists of the Collective TS team, made up of experienced coaches and trainers, all of whom hold coaching licenses and degrees in Physical Education, with national and international distinctions in both coaching and competition.
Within this framework, A.S. Asteras operates several programs in the technical and coaching field, including Play & Stay for juniors and adults, Tennis 10s, Tennis Program 11–17, and TennisXpress. These programs focus on developing players under 10, teaching and developing players aged 11–17, as well as adult beginner training through technical and tactical objectives in all game situations.
A major part of the club’s coaching mission is the Development and High-Performance Programs for players aged 11–14 and 15–17, which include technical-tactical training, physical conditioning, and mental-skills coaching.
An integral part of the club is its innovative programs, which aim to provide opportunities for people from any region and at any time of the year to train at its facilities. Notable examples include:
-
Weekly Sessions Year Round (weekly training program),
-
Intensive Training Sessions (2-hour training, mostly one Saturday per month),
-
Pre-Tournament Training Program (for Competitive-Advanced and High-Performance players).
At the same time, A.S. Asteras organizes athletic activities for all ages, such as internal tournaments tailored to the needs of its members, recreational sports events, and training camps that focus both on athletic development and the enjoyment of participants.
