About

Certified coach,
10 years of teaching

I'm Massimo Bettini, an FITP-certified tennis coach (2nd level), based in Nice. I hold a 2nd-level diploma from the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation and have been teaching children, adults and seniors for ten years, first in Italy, now on the French Riviera.

I also help organise an ATP Challenger tournament in Italy. On court, I aim for something simple: clear lessons, suited to your level, that make you want to come back and play.

★★★★★

“Coach Massimo was fantastic to work with during our son’s lessons while we were visiting the French Riviera. He quickly understood our son’s game, communicated clearly, and struck a great balance between being positive, professional, and demanding in the right way. Our son really enjoyed the sessions and felt challenged and motivated. We would highly recommend Massimo to any visiting family looking for high-quality coaching and would gladly book with him again.”

“I had the pleasure of training with Massimo several times during my stay on the French Riviera, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better coach. […] Every lesson was thoughtfully structured, and he has an exceptional ability to identify the few adjustments that make the biggest difference. […]”

“I had 3 sessions with Massimo over the course of the week in Nice in preparation for a tennis tournament a week later. He was a fantastic coach, showing me several little tweaks that were easy to implement and immediately improved my game. […] 10 / 10. Highly recommend!!”
