COACHES

Alex petropoulos

Director | Head Coach

Alex Petropoulos is the head coach and founder of AP Tennis, an academy built on a clear belief: that consistent, structured and purposeful coaching is the most effective pathway to real player improvement.

Operating from Hampton Park Tennis Club and Hallam Tennis Club in Melbourne's south east, Alex works with players across every stage of development — from children taking their first steps on court through the Hot Shots pathway, to competitive juniors and adults chasing tournament results.

With a coaching philosophy grounded in technical precision, tactical understanding and long-term development, Alex has built a reputation as a coach who takes the work seriously — and who genuinely invests in the progress of every player in his program.

AP Tennis is not simply a casual hitting service. It is a structured coaching environment where players are expected to work, improve and develop the habits of a serious tennis player — regardless of their starting point.
