Our story
Once upon a time, there was a place where children discovered tennis by playing…
Darío
Director of the Tennis School
My story with tennis began very early, when I was just 5 years old. Since then, tennis has been much more than a sport for me: it has been a school of life. At 14, I started as my coach's assistant, and since then I haven't stopped teaching, learning, and growing within this world. To this day, I continue with the same passion—or even more—for this sport that has given me so much.
Tennis has taught me not to give up, to fight for every point as if it were the last, to develop strategies, and to adapt intelligently to every situation. It has given me values that I apply to all aspects of my life: attention, concentration, commitment, effort, sacrifice, and respect.
But the most valuable thing tennis has given me is people: friendships that have lasted for years and unforgettable experiences. And that is precisely what motivates me every day: to be able to transmit to children not only the technique and tactics, but also the values and passion that this sport gave me.
After many years of teaching tennis to children and teenagers, the "Panda Tenis" Children's Tennis School was born. This project has been with me for years, and two years ago it was formally established as an association. Although we have been working with passion and commitment for much longer, we now have a legal framework that allows us to reach more people and help more.
At Panda Tenis, we believe that tennis is a powerful tool for teaching values. We don't just teach technique; we develop people. Our new goal as an association is to help children with fewer resources by donating equipment, facilitating their access to sports, and creating charitable projects that promote equal opportunities.
Panda Tenis is not just a children's tennis school. It's a family. A community that grows around sport, respect, effort, and enthusiasm.
