About us
The next generation of tennis lessons
NextGen Tennis was founded in 2023 with a clear mission: to let as many people as possible enjoy the best sport there is. We teach at tennis club ZLTB on Kon. Wilhelminastraat in Zwolle, with clay courts outside and the heated air hall in winter.
Our coaches are young, enthusiastic and know what they are doing. They combine modern teaching methods with the belief that tennis should be fun above all. Whether you are six or sixty: we would love to see you on court.
Fun and progress go hand in hand. That is why every lesson is different, challenging and focused on what you need. Recreational, performance driven or somewhere in between: at NextGen Tennis anything is possible.
Meet the team
Your coaches
Young, driven and KNLTB licensed. These are the faces of NextGen Tennis.
Vincent Schadee
Owner & coachHappiest when he is on court all day. Vincent plays mixed premier division himself, holds a degree in Business and builds every lesson just a little differently: lots of hitting, clear tips and always fun. With him you go home with something new every week.
Kjell de Hek
Owner & coachPlays national competition in the Top and Premier divisions, but his biggest kick is a student pulling something off for the first time. With Kjell every lesson has a goal: build up smartly, get a step better every week. Structured and contagiously enthusiastic.
Arjen Huttema
CoachTeaches with the Tennis Coach A diploma in his pocket (since 2020) and has strengthened the team since 2025. Arjen studies Sports Science and looks beyond technique alone: movement, fitness and above all fun. His lessons feel like play, while you secretly learn a lot.
Tennis kids
From red to yellow
We follow Tenniskids, the official KNLTB programme. Children learn tennis in colour stages that grow with their age and level: every colour has its own court size, ball and pace. This way your child is always challenged in the right way.
Red
up to 8 yearsOn a mini court of 11 metres with a soft, slow red ball. Learning to rally and play the first points.
Orange
8 to 10 yearsA three-quarter court and a slightly faster orange ball. Rallies get longer and real matches are added.
Green
10 to 12 yearsThe full court with a slightly slower green ball. Technique and tactics are refined further and further.
Yellow
from ±12 yearsThe switch to the regular yellow ball on the full court. Ready for club and KNLTB competition and tournaments.
Adults can join at any level too. View all packages

Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Yes, that is always possible. Request your trial lesson via the trial lesson page, email info@nextgen-tennis.nl or call +31 6 23 00 15 89. This way you get to know us and we get to know you.
You sign up for a full season: the summer season runs from April to October, the winter season from October to March. After that you simply decide again whether to continue, so you are never committed for longer than one season.
Yes. In winter we simply keep training in the heated air hall of ZLTB. For the youth packages the court hire for the air hall is included. Please note: the number of courts in the air hall is limited, so a spot in the winter schedule is not guaranteed. With a group of 4 the chance of a spot and a preferred time is greatest.
The summer season runs from April to October and the winter season from October to March. During the school holidays (autumn, Christmas, spring, May and summer holidays) there are no lessons.
We arrange the training groups by level, age and availability. This way you always train with people who suit you.
Yes! Get in touch via info@nextgen-tennis.nl or +31 6 23 00 15 89 and we will discuss the possibilities for your school.
Proper tennis shoes, sportswear and your own racket; we take care of the tennis balls. Joining the Maak Kennis Met Tennis lessons? Then loan rackets are ready for you. And if you are just starting out, we are happy to help you choose a suitable first racket.
Yes, for lessons at NextGen Tennis you are also a member of tennis club ZLTB. And that is exactly the nice part: as a member you can, besides your lesson, play freely without limit, join club activities and play competition. Not yet a member? You can sign up via the ZLTB website; mention it with your registration as well, and we will help you on your way.
Email your enrolment statement from your MBO, college or university to info@nextgen-tennis.nl and tick that you are a student when signing up. Your discount applies to all lesson packages.
Let your coach know in time, directly or via the group app. A lesson you miss yourself remains at your own expense. If a lesson is cancelled because of the weather, we do not make up every one: the first cancelled lesson is at your expense, we make up the second, the third is at your expense again, and so on. Make-up lessons take place during the make-up period, in school holidays or at the end of the season. If a lesson is cancelled because the coach is unavailable, we always arrange a replacement or a new date. See the terms and conditions for details.
You do not have to guess yourself. During your free trial lesson our coaches immediately see your level and which package and group suit you best.
