TENNIS ACADEMY FEE COMPARISON

I believe parents should know exactly what they are paying for before joining MindCraft. I would rather publish my fees and conditions openly than have misunderstandings about money later.

MY TENNIS COACHING FEES

6-month commitment: ₹35,000 per month, payable six months in advance. Total: ₹2,10,000.

3-month commitment: ₹40,000 per month, payable three months in advance. Total: ₹1,20,000.

FITNESS TRAINING

For students already training under the existing arrangement, fitness training is included without an additional charge as an "Early Bird discount" which stays for a few months.

For new students, fitness training will cost an additional ₹7,000.

ADVANCE PAYMENT

I collect six months' fees in advance or three month fee. MindCraft is intended for serious competitive players. I do not run beginner or adult batches, and I want families joining the programme to understand the commitment involved.

The advance payment establishes a financial commitment from both sides. Please understand the training arrangement and the payment conditions before enrolling.

TOURNAMENT CHARGES

For tournaments outside the local area, I charge an additional tournament coaching fee of ₹1,000 per child per day or ₹3,000 per day, whichever amount is higher.

For local tournaments, there is no additional tournament coaching fee.

NO BARGAINING

I am publishing my fees openly so that parents can make an informed decision before joining.

If you understand the programme, agree with the conditions and believe the fees are worthwhile, you are welcome to join. If the arrangement does not suit you, you are equally free to explore other academies.

WILL MY FEES ALWAYS REMAIN THE SAME?

No. I may revise my fees depending on demand, the training arrangement and other business considerations. I am making this clear from the beginning rather than promising that my fees will remain unchanged forever.

I believe financial clarity is important for both the academy and the families joining it. Understand the fees, understand the conditions, and make your decision accordingly.

One thing I have noticed in tennis coaching is that information about fees and services is not always easy for parents to access.

Parents often don't know what other families are paying, what different coaching programmes include or how academies structure their fees. This makes it difficult to compare options and make informed decisions.

Genuine coaches also deserve recognition. Coaches who invest years in learning, improving their knowledge and developing players should have an opportunity to demonstrate the value of their work.

Parents need better information to evaluate coaching, and genuine coaches need better opportunities to demonstrate their work.

That is why I want to create this platform: to encourage fee transparency, improve access to information and promote greater accountability in tennis coaching.

The objective is simple: help parents make informed decisions while giving coaches an opportunity to build credibility through their actual work rather than marketing claims alone.

I want parents to come forward and share their actual experiences with tennis academies.

Share information about coaching fees, private sessions, fitness charges, session timings, tournament expenses and other relevant costs.

Don't restrict your contribution to your own academy. Information about different academies can help parents understand the options available to them.

Think about the next parent who is trying to choose an academy.

They may be going through the same confusion you experienced. Your information could help them ask better questions, compare services and make a more informed decision.

When sharing information, please be accurate. Mention when you received the information and whether the fees were confirmed by the academy or reported by another parent. Avoid sharing anyone's private information.

The more reliable information parents contribute, the more useful this platform can become.

Transparency is not created by one person. It requires participation from the tennis community.

Don't just use information shared by others. Help make the information available to the next family too.
