TC Oppido Tennis School 2026/2027: the Open Days
TC Oppido "Gianni Caruso" · Oppido Mamertina, Costa Viola, Calabria
19 September 2026 – 22 September 2026
TC Oppido "Gianni Caruso" opens the 2026/2027 season of its tennis school with two Open Days open to everyone: Saturday 19 September from 6 pm to 8 pm and Sunday 20 September from 10 am to 1 pm. They are two chances to see the courts, meet the coaches and pick up a racket before signing up, with no commitment. Courses start on Tuesday 22 September 2026 and cover every level, from mini tennis for the youngest beginners through technical improvement and specialisation up to competitive training, with separate groups for children, teenagers and adults. The club, based in Oppido Mamertina in the hinterland of Reggio Calabria, is affiliated to the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation and carries the FITP Tennis Club School mark. For information and enrolment, call +39 393 905 1615.
The TC Oppido tennis school is back
TC Oppido "Gianni Caruso" is opening its doors to a new season of sport, fun and growth: the 2026/2027 Tennis School is starting and the club is inviting anyone curious to come and see the courts. It is the classic moment of the year when a sports club introduces itself to the town: people who have never played can see how a course works, those who already play can find the right group, and parents can see for themselves where their children will be spending their afternoons. The invitation is explicit: come and try, have fun and discover a passion for tennis.
The Open Days on 19 and 20 September
To introduce the tennis school the club is holding two Open Days, in two time slots designed to fit different schedules. The first is on Saturday 19 September 2026, from 6 pm to 8 pm, in the late afternoon. The second is on Sunday 20 September 2026, from 10 am to 1 pm, in the morning. These are open days with no commitment: you drop by, watch, ask the coaches questions and, if you like, pick up a racket. Anyone who cannot make either date can still call the club for information.
The courses: from mini tennis to competitive training
The school's programme covers the full range of levels and is not aimed only at people who already play. Mini tennis is the first step, designed for the youngest children and for complete beginners, with a court and equipment scaled to their age. The improvement course works on the technique of those who already have the basics - grips, fundamental strokes, footwork. Specialisation goes into the detail of the game, covering tactics, serve and patterns of play. Competitive training is the path for those who want to enter the tournament circuit and train with that goal. Four distinct tracks, which means you can join the school from any starting point.
Children, teenagers and adults: groups for every age
Courses are organised in three age brackets: children, teenagers and adults. That detail matters more than it might seem, because it means tennis in Oppido is not only an activity for childhood: people who stopped years ago, who never tried, or who simply want to get moving again will find a group of similar level and age to train with. For families, being able to use the same club at different times of day also makes the weekly logistics far simpler.
TC Oppido, a FITP-affiliated club
Tennis Club "Gianni Caruso" has been listed in CONI's national register of sports clubs since 2013 and is affiliated to the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation; the school's poster carries the FITP Tennis Club School mark. The club, chaired by Emanuele Costa, has over the years become a point of reference not only for the town but for the whole area, with new municipal courts renovated by the local administration and a programme that ranges from open tournaments to team championships, including the men's Serie D2. Oppido Mamertina, after all, has a long and well-recognised tennis tradition.
