Down Basic – A Retreat That Stays With You

More than anything, these retreats are about feeling good. Whether you come to sharpen your backhand, stretch your perspective, or just enjoy a week in beautiful surroundings, we’re here to make sure you leave feeling recharged, inspired, and more connected to yourself and the people around you.
This is tennis – done differently.
This is Down Basic.

About us Upcoming events

Welcome to Down Basic

A new kind of tennis retreat—where the court meets creativity, connection, and peace.

Who We Are
We’re Down Basic – just two friends with a shared love for tennis, travel, and the kind of experiences that make you feel alive. What started as a dream between us has turned into something much bigger: a series of retreats that bring together everything we care about – movement, creativity, connection, and joy. At its core, Down Basic is about tennis. But it’s also about taking a breath, slowing down, and rediscovering what lights you up. Each retreat is a chance to grow your game and yourself with daily tennis sessions surrounded by mindful movement, art, great food, and the kind of conversations that stay with you long after the trip ends. These retreats are a reflection of our dream: spaces where people can move, grow, unwind, and just be.

Camps & retreats
Our mission is to offer something more than a training camp. We’re creating spaces where high-level coaching meets deep rest, where structure balances with freedom, and where every part of you, body, mind, and spirit feels welcome.
