Zone 3 · Baseline
Defence & consistency
Deep, heavy balls from behind the line. Read the incoming shot, recover, stay in the point. This is where matches are refused to be lost.
Train the
Spanish way.
Vamos!
One Italian coach. The Spanish tennis method. Twenty-five years on court across three continents. Phuket, Thailand. Personal sessions in Phuket for players who want to fight for every point.
The Vamos manifesto
Tennis is not about hitting the ball. It is about reading it, moving to it, and choosing what happens next.
Every session breathes the fighting spirit that made Spanish tennis a school of its own. Discipline in the warm-up. Balance in the recovery. Intensity in the last ball of the day. Nothing shouted, everything built — one point, one drill, one more.
The method
Three zones. One complete point.
The Spanish tennis method is built on a simple map of the court: three zones, three intentions, three ways to be the one who decides how the point ends.
Every drill in Fulvio’s sessions lives inside this map. Where does the ball come from, where do you meet it, where do you send it next. Once the map is yours, technique stops being ten thousand isolated shots and becomes a language you speak on the run.

Approach & control
Move forward with intention, take time away, prepare the winning ball. The middle of the court is where the point is really decided.
Zone 1 · Attack
Finish & net
Take the ball early, close the distance, finish the point. Offensive forehand, backhand, volley — aggression with a clear head.
Programs
Three ways to train with Fulvio.
The same method, adapted to your level, age and how much time you have on the island. Sessions and packages are confirmed directly on WhatsApp.
Private coaching
One-to-one sessions. Full attention on your technique, your footwork and the patterns your game is missing. For adults and juniors who want to build something serious.
Junior performance
Structured training for competitive juniors. Zones, intensity, point play and the small habits that separate a talented kid from a competitor.
Camps & clinics
Short intensive blocks for visitors in Phuket. High-energy Spanish drills, a proper sweat, and a tropical setting that makes every session feel like a small holiday.
Italian in PhuketThe coach
Fulvio Scian
International tennis coach · Spanish method · Phuket
Italian by birth, coach by vocation, Phuket by choice. Fulvio has spent more than two decades on court — from academies in Spain and Italy to programs in Central America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia — always teaching the same thing: the Spanish tennis method, adapted to whoever is on the other side of the net.
In Phuket he trains juniors, adults and visitors on a single principle: intensity with a plan. No shortcuts, no rockstar drills, no talk that does not translate into a better ball. When the session ends, he goes home on his motorbike with Tarzán, his dog and unofficial assistant coach. When it starts again, it is Vamos, again.

Answers
Frequently asked questions.
Everything most players ask before their first session with Fulvio in Phuket.
What is the Spanish tennis method?
The Spanish tennis method is a training approach developed in Spain and applied at academies such as Sanchez-Casal and by figures around Rafa Nadal’s coaching lineage. It organises the court into three zones — defence, transition and attack — and builds every drill around footwork, balance, intensity and repeated point-like patterns. Fulvio applies this method personally, with his own experience, and does not represent any specific academy or federation.
Where does Fulvio Coach train players?
Fulvio trains in Phuket, Thailand. Sessions take place on partner courts around the island. Exact location and times are confirmed on WhatsApp once the level and program are agreed.
Who is the academy for?
Competitive juniors, ambitious adults and visitors passing through Phuket who want serious tennis. The method is the same for everyone; the intensity, drills and packages are adapted to your level and your goals.
How much does it cost?
Rates depend on the program (private coaching, junior performance, camps and clinics), how many sessions you book and where they take place. Ask on WhatsApp and you will get a straight answer in the same conversation — no forms, no funnels.
Do I need to be a strong player already?
No. The method fits improvers, intermediate players and competitive juniors. Complete beginners are welcome too when Fulvio’s schedule allows — the same principles simply start from step one.
How is this different from a normal tennis lesson?
Everything is inside a structure: three zones on court, five stages per point, and drills that come back over weeks so the movement becomes automatic. You are not paying for a hitting partner; you are paying for someone who has spent decades teaching this exact system on three continents.
Who is Tarzán?
Tarzán is Fulvio’s dog and unofficial assistant coach. He rides in the motorbike box, watches the sessions from the shade and occasionally chases loose balls. If you come to Phuket, you will probably meet him.
