It's great to have a website dedicated to important communications and everything you need to know about the ski school. It helps both instructors and clients navigate the ski school, both organizationally and in terms of reliability and professionalism.

The only downside, in my opinion, is the complex design of the menu interface, which isn't particularly intuitive, although this is a problem that resolves itself with consistent use of the website.

We had a wonderful experience with both our children (9 and 5); the school (and particularly Prem) is responsive, organised and flexible when required. We have found every teacher to be very kind and friendly which has made the whole difference!

Top! I've been using them for over two years, and the results are incredible. At 40, and afraid to let go of my board, it was a real challenge for me. But Nicola is the best! Technique, talent, and kindness: he helped me push my limits. If you want real results, trust him and Giorgio Rocca's school! And Veronica is second to none for all the office management: always available and smiling. I adore you!

Marco is the man! To say my friend and I had an extraordinary time would be an understatement! He is incredibly skilled and patient - and also kept me relaxed.

We had the best time today and want to come back to take lessons again. So happy with this experience, thanks to Marco! He came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation for being the best.

Real Match Coaching from
Local Players

Good paddle isn’t just about hitting harder—it’s about hitting smarter. When you play experienced teams, they won’t give you easy balls. We look at your actual gameplay, fix small mistakes in your preparation and stance, and teach you how to turn defensive situations into winning points.

“At an advanced level, it comes down to court awareness and consistency under pressure. If you can read the ball half a second faster, you control the rally.”

What We Work On

  • Overhead shot selection: Bandeja, Vibora, and spin smashes
  • Attacking directly off the glass rebound (Bajada de Pared)
  • Quick transition work from defence at the back to controlling the net
  • Doubles communication, court coverage, and switching mid-point
  • Pacing rallies and taking advantage of your opponent’s weak side
  • Match paddles and fresh balls ready on court for every lesson

Core Coaching Areas

1. Overhead Precision

Master the difference between a high-control Bandeja to hold the net and a sharp Vibora to push your opponents back into the corners.

2. Glass Play & Counters

Stop playing passive off the back glass. Learn to hit fast, downward counter-attacks when the ball comes off the wall with depth.

3. Match Strategy

Practice real game scenarios. We work on point construction, target isolation, and how to hold your ground on crucial game points.

Practical Technique Tweaks

Most advanced players don’t need to rebuild their stroke from scratch. Often, adjusting your racket preparation by a few inches or fixing footwork balance right before contact makes an immediate difference in control.

Playing in St. Moritz Altitude

Because of the alpine air, balls bounce higher and travel faster here in St. Moritz. Playing at this altitude forces you to react quicker and adjust your shot length, which sharpens your timing for any court you play on afterwards.

Flexible Lesson
Formats

You can book individual 1-on-1 sessions if you want to focus strictly on stroke mechanics, or bring your doubles partner so you can work together on court positioning, tactical movement, and set plays.

Great for:

  • Club players looking to break through to local tournament levels
  • Tennis converts who need to master paddle-specific wall strategy
  • Doubles pairs wanting to improve court rotation and match communication
  • Visiting players wanting quality, high-intensity court time while in St. Moritz
  • Anyone looking for a solid hit with an experienced local coach
