Imagine spending part of your holidays on the court, under the sun, with a racket in hand and surrounded by the best atmosphere in Málaga.

That’s how you experience holiday tennis at Centro Deportivo Cortijo Alto — a place where fun meets technical improvement and physical development. Here’s what a typical day looks like at this well-organized camp.

A schedule designed to make the most of your time

From the early hours of the day until the afternoon, activities are carefully planned to maximize every moment on the court, while ensuring enjoyment and social interaction. The day is divided into three main blocks:

Technical training (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Break and lunch (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM)
Matches and competitive activities (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM)

This structure, which may vary slightly depending on the day, helps maintain a balance between intensity, learning, and rest.

Technical mornings and focused repetition

Mornings begin with a group warm-up followed by a brief explanation of the daily plan. Then, players rotate through different stations on the courts, spending about 30 minutes at each one.

What do we work on?

Groundstrokes: forehand and backhand.
Serve and return.
Volleys, overheads, and sliced cross-court shots.
Tactics: direction, height, and consistency.
Drills focused on precision and pattern repetition.

This station-based system allows deep focus on specific aspects. The goal isn’t to do many things, but to perfect the fundamentals. Focused repetition is the key to progress.

Groups and coaches

Players are divided into teams named after top professional tennis players: Team Nadal, Team Alcaraz, Team Sinner, among others. Each group rotates through the stations and is guided by coaches who adapt exercises to the group’s level.

Afternoons of competition and fun

After a well-earned break and lunch, it’s time to put everything into practice. From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, activities combine competition, strategy, and entertainment:

Singles and doubles matches
Mini tournaments
“King of the Court”
Consistency challenges

Some afternoons are dedicated to internal games between participants, while others feature doubles tournaments where the competitive spirit merges with teamwork.

Focus on physical conditioning

Physical training is divided into two areas:

Game-specific work: agility, movement, and functional strength.
General improvement: aerobic endurance and basic strength.

This physical component is integrated into the morning sessions and also follows a station-based format, like an additional court. This way, each player strengthens their body according to the demands of tennis.

Beyond the court: values and camaraderie

Practicing holiday tennis at Centro Deportivo Cortijo Alto is not only great for training but also for encouraging learning and essential values such as:

Respect for teammates and opponents.
Teamwork.
Discipline and daily effort.
Personal growth.

Every activity, match, and break reflects a positive, educational, and motivating atmosphere.
