Mario and his team run the best classes we’ve discovered for our kids in the Macedon Ranges and we’ve tried a few! The location is convenient to Gisborne and surrounds. If I’d know about Spark earlier I’m sure their coaching would’ve gotten our kids more enthusiastic about the sport.

If I’d know about Spark earlier I’m sure their coaching would’ve gotten our kids more enthusiastic about the sport. The motivation passed onto our kids in a few short months has been nothing short of miraculous. Wish we’d discovered Spark sooner so we didn’t have those years of complaint about tennis! Less

My son and I, we continuously searched for exceptional training academies and coaching but never found the perfect fit before finding Mario, we are so grateful we didn’t give up the search because now it has all been worth it! Mario has coached our son for over 3 years and has always been amazing! We chose to do mostly private 1 on 1 coaching for our son, he is a junior with big aspirations and goals in life. Mario countlessly supported my son and helped him reach where he wanted to be through shaping his game, strategising game plans, and improving his technique. Mario is technically and tactically perfect as a coach for our son! Mario makes the game of tennis enjoyable and an exciting experience, with constant motivation boosters and stories from his past experiences as a tennis player have really helped my son come a long way. He teaches all things tennis but as well as how to keep a positive mindset, creativity, conceptual decision making, both self love and care, patience and perseverance. Not only did Mario help make my son better on the court, my son came home everyday a better person with more knowledge and values in life. I 100% recommend to anyone to head to Mario for training and coaching, he works with all levels whether you are wanting to just start, or you’re heading to a professional career. Mario is the man for you! Thank you for everything you have done for us Mario, we truely appreciate it! Less
