- Origin Story
A COACH’S DREAM TO A PLAYER’S PATHWAY
ML Tennis was created to offer what many players need most: a genuine pathway, built on high standards and real support.
It grew from working with juniors and families who wanted clarity, what to focus on now, how to build foundations properly, and how to progress over the long term. Shaped by Michael Logarzo’s experience across different systems and mentors worldwide, our approach develops technique, tactics, athleticism, and mindset without losing the human side of coaching.
Today, ML Tennis supports players of all ages and levels, while keeping families informed and supported throughout the journey.
