Coaching built on more than a hitting partner
Founded and led by Hadi Darvishomrani, coaching across four Sydney courts.
Sydney Tennis School exists because there's a difference between someone who can feed you balls and someone who can change how you play. Every coach here has come through serious competitive tennis, and several have taken juniors to national rankings — in Australia and overseas.
That shows up in how sessions are built. Kids move through the Tennis Hot Shots stages on courts and balls sized to them, so they rally properly instead of chasing full-speed balls around a full-size court. Adults get grouped honestly by level, not by whoever turned up. And adult groups and cardio tennis both start with a free session, so nobody signs up for a term blind.
Four coaches, one philosophy
Technical precision built on sports psychology — from a first Hot Shots session to competitive match play.
Hadi founded Sydney Tennis School and leads its coaching at Mosman, East Killara and North Ryde. He works with players of every age and ability — from a four-year-old's first Hot Shots session through to juniors chasing a national ranking. His coaching pairs technical precision with sports psychology and long-term player development, which in practice means building a session around how a player learns, not only around how their forehand looks. He also plans the school's programs and mentors its coaches.
He has coached nationally ranked Australian juniors including Myron Papadimitriou, Rianna Alame and Gabby Gregg, and coached players in Iran before moving to Australia. He has written professional publications on tennis and sport, including a peer-reviewed article in the ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review, served as Technical Director for the Iran Tennis Federation's Tennis Hot Shots introductory film, and ran Level 1 coaching courses and workshops as both organiser and instructor.
