Ortega Tennis

At Ortega Tennis, our core mission is to promote and make tennis accessible to Hong Kong players from all walks of life. Our aim is to develop students technically, physically, tactically and mentally. We teach the values of tennis to better each student not just as a player but also as a person. We teach our kids respect, responsibility, hard work, team work and resilience, on and off the court. We also endeavor to provide clear pathways for players, whether their goal is to become competent social players, or to compete in international circuits.

Sebastien believes that there is not one method or system that is best for developing players. Instead, as coaches, we learn about individual students and draw from our range of tools to get the best out of each and every student.

Testimonial

This is to certify that Sebastien Garcia Ortega, born June 25 1986, has been working for the Belgian Tennis Federation in Brussels from September 2012 till 2016 as a tennis coach specializing in competition . He was in charge as the head coach of the Regional Training with the best under 14 players supported by the Federation. Sebastien understands the game well, knows how to communicate his knowledge to the players he works with, follows instructions meticulously, has the insight to think of the appropriate exercises needed and in general he has added a definite positive note to our group. I am very satisfied with Sebastien’s performance on and off the court and trust him fully to do the job at the quality and level expected by the Federation’s standards.
