“Our passion is our strength.”

OUR STORY

BREAKS TO LOVE was born when we discovered the unique beauty of the Aegean Sporades Island of SKIATHOS where our 1st ITF seniors event was launched. This was followed up by tennis camps.

Our ethos is to make all players feel they are amongst tennis friends. We will ensure you have a relaxing experience whilst at the same time being able to challenge yourselves on the tennis court should you feel inclined.

The tennis will be tailored to your needs based on a 2 way communication taking into account your aims and objectives.

We will discuss your physical and technical strengths and how to utilise them on court with adapted tactics and some special mental strategies.

Our favoured venues are in the Mediterranean predominantly around Greece and its amazing islands. We have been known to hold events in Armenia Yerevan and the Bahamas, and plan to expand the network to include unique and exciting destinations.

Over the past year Dick Bedrossian and Steve Riley (founder of Will to Win – London) have developed a partnership to coordinate and promote events and holidays in a more joined up way.

The aims have been evolved using the experiences they have had in tennis over the past 30 years.

Tennis is a sport for life and in these Covid times is a great way to  keep fit, socially and mentally active and strong. It is true to say tennis generally increases life expectancy by up to 10 years, based on the physical and social aspects.

The tennis breaks and tournaments are tailored based on the following principles.

We aim to make them a fun and memorable experience:

  • To ensure players feel at ease to learn well and play with similar level players or better,
  • To choose the most beautiful and welcoming venues with the best facilities,
  • To use a coaching technique tailored to the individual, not the group,
  • To ensure the food and other areas of the holiday or event are top class,
  • To offer best value.

Dick and Steve (qualified LTA coaches) have been involved in county tennis for years and still play to a high level (body permitting).

We look forward to giving you an amazing tennis experience!
