Ljubicic Tennis Academy has been my second home for the past two and a half years. And while I have become a better tennis player during that time, I have become a better person too and that is proof enough of how special everyone here at the academy is.
The coaches are not only experienced but also genuinely helpful, providing personalised guidance to help each player improve. The training program is well-structured, offering a balanced mix of technical practice, physical conditioning, and match play.
The training sessions are both challenging and engaging, with new drills and exercises designed to push your limits and keep things exciting. Whether you're working on refining your technique or improving your mental game, there’s always something new to learn.

My son Richard has been training and living at the academy for more than 7 months and I am absolutely happy that we chose this place.
The attitude and professionalism of the coaches, attention to all emerging issues, the conditions and location of the academy and the climate are perfect.
Being away from my son, I feel complete peace of mind because the Ljubicic Academy is about professionalism, trust, integrity and 100% dedication to results.

Our family has been deeply involved in tennis for the past 15 years. Both children are active competitors, and the decision to choose the Ljubicic Tennis Academy was based on the experience of the older child.

The expert staff at LJTA consists of professionals with years of experience in tennis, player development, and coaching at the highest global level. The founder of LJTA has instilled his beliefs into the academy’s core philosophy—creating a small boutique academy with a family-like atmosphere.

All coaches, led by head coach Luka Cvjetkovic, are fantastic and fully dedicated to their work. Each player receives maximum attention, fostering a sense of belonging, value, and confidence—essential foundations for a future in tennis. Mutual trust is the key to success and the main reason for choosing this academy. Ana Marija has been a loyal member of the academy for four years.

Joining the Ljubicic Tennis Academy has been an amazing opportunity for my son Yanru. The academy provides a top-tier training environment that constantly challenges him to grow and refine his skills, encouraging him to reach new heights every day. It’s a place where he is consistently challenged to elevate his skills, overcome obstacles, and strive for excellence both on and off the court.

The training programs at the academy are carefully designed to meet the individual needs of each player. The coaches emphasize every key element of the game, from refining technical skills and improving footwork to strengthening mental resilience and mastering match strategies, all to help players achieve their highest potential. This holistic approach to training has helped Yanru become a more well-rounded and disciplined player.
