Why Train with TAG at SJI International
Coaching with genuine pedigree
TAG’s founder Coach XT reached a career-high ITF Men’s 35+ World Ranking of No. 56 (2017–18), won the Singapore Open in 2019 and is certified PTR Full Professional. He leads a team of experienced, accredited coaches holding credentials such as PTR, the AustralAsian Academy of Tennis Coaches (AATC) Level 2 and the National Registry of Coaches (NROC) via CoachSG, many of them current or former competitive tournament players. The bench also includes Coach Bo Alburo, ITF Men’s 35+ World #2 in singles. Every ranking and credential above is published on the coaches’ own playing profiles, linked here, so you can check it at source rather than take our word for it. If you want to compare coaches before you commit, our guide to choosing a tennis coach Singapore players trust walks you through the credentials that matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this convenient for school families?
Very. The central-north location and flexible scheduling suit students and parents alike. Many families here train with the junior development pathway in mind — see our tennis academy Singapore guide for how juniors progress from first lesson to national ranking.
What happens when it rains?
TAG owns Winchester Tennis Arena, four sheltered indoor courts in Alexandra Park, where lessons run rain or shine — a reliable backup for committed players.
How are your coaches selected?
All are full-time coaching professionals, personally vetted by the academy, with certifications from bodies such as PTR, AATC and NROC via CoachSG.
Who will be coaching me?
Your lead coach is assigned by level and goals. You can check any TAG coach’s playing record and certifications at source before you book: Coach XT’s are published at coachxt.sg and Coach Bo Alburo’s at tagcoachboalburo.com.
