NTC offers a multitude of tennis programs: Tennis School, Center of Training, Training of Trainers, Tennis for Leisure.
NTC Tennis Academy
Creating champions begins early. NTC aims to detect young talents and provide them with a long-term holistic training program, technical, mental and physical to prepare them for a professional tennis career.
The academy will train the youth like champions, and treat like them champions so that when they step on the court for their first professional match, they play like champions.
Parents, rest assured! Your sons and daughters will spend hours per week on the court, but they will also hit the books!! At the academy players will also be students, taking a wide range of classes in the morning. That is a pledge that NTC wants to make to parents the kids will be educated champions because there is nothing wrong with being an articulate tennis champion. NTC recognizes that like all other sports- is a rewarding and short-lived career (at least as an active player). Once the racquet has been hung up, it is not the end, but the beginning of a “second life”, whether in the tennis/sport arena or in another domain.

Club History
Abidjan, once the site of the African junior tennis championships and professional tournaments, is abounding with sporting clubs and tennis courts which for many years now have gone unexploited, or at best under-exploited.
Recognizing that existing facilities with a substantial financial investment can be restored, N’Goran Tennis Concept embarked on a journey to revive the dormant unexploited sporting areas, such as the Club Municipal in the neighborhood of 2 Plateaux behind what used to be the SOCOCE supermarket.
From humble beginnings…
NTC is operating at the Club Municipal located in the city of Abidjan. Operations began in 2010 with the conversion of a rundown basketball court and play area into 2 tennis courts and a mini tennis court.
…to keeping the lights on 8 years later.
