Competitive Training

HLK’s competitive training is designed for junior players who are oriented towards competition.

HLK’s competitive training is goal-oriented tennis practice led by a head coach. In competitive training, the player and their family commit to following the rules and practices set by the club and the coach.

The head coaches responsible for the competitive training are Julius Pykälämäki, Timo Koskivuori, and Santtu Pykälämäki, with Sami Räsänen in charge of physical training.
