• THE path to victory begins in childhood
At RozaRossa Family Country Club, children begin their journey to success from an early age. A proper start, personalised programmes, psychological support, and a friendly atmosphere - all of this creates the foundation for future champions.
The earlier a child starts sports, the more confidently they grow both physically and emotionally.
At RozaRossa, kids as young as 4 take their first steps on the court, and just a few years later many of them are already winning medals at tournaments. Parents note that training here develops not only sporting skills but also discipline, teamwork, and determination.
• Unique methodology and experienced coaches
Head coach Nikolay Parkhomenko combined the experience of his mother - Svetlana Parkhomenko, Wimbledon semifinalist and world No. 8 - with his own knowledge gained from leading masters of world tennis. Based on this, he developed a unique
RozaRossa creates champions
system that allows children to grow into champions “from zero.”
Every child is given an individual pathway: goals are adjusted according to progress. When necessary, sessions are intensified with a focus on technique or endurance. As a result, players reach success faster and achieve strong results at the national level. Among our coaches are champions and prizewinners of international tournaments.
• Success stories Parents confirm the effectiveness of the method. “In just 15 days my son improved his technique more than in a whole year at another club,” shares one mother. RozaRossa’s players consistently rank among the leaders in Spanish and European com-
petitions.
A special pride of the club is Maria Parkhomenko, who became the No. 1 player in Spain. Her journeyfrom first hits to victories at major tournaments - inspires both children and parents.
• New enrolment open
The RozaRossa Tennis Academy is now enrolling new players. Children from 4 years old can train in small groups or individually. Programmes are
divided into levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Age groups follow the international colour-ball system (red, orange, green, and yellow).
In addition to kids’ programmes, RozaRossa offers private training for adults and court rentals. Padel, one of the fastest-growing sports in Spain, is also available.
• Boxing, fitness & family atmosphere RozaRossa is more than tennis. The club runs sections in
boxing, judo, sambo, Muay Thai, and crossfit. For children, training builds strength, speed, and confidence, while for adults it helps to stay fit and release stress. Here, sport becomes a lifestyle, and every member feels part of one big family.
• Comprehensive service
The RozaRossa Family Country Club unites sport, leisure, and inspiration. It is a place where champions are made - and where unforgettable memories are created for life.

Joe Lastie at Clarence CalaPop art exhibition
THE “Alvaroscopio” art exhibition is showing the artworks of popular and pop illustrator and graphic designer Álvaro Ortega and is now open at the Edificio de Colores in Fuengirola.
Running until September 20, the exhibition is a visual highlight of the CalaPop 2025 festival. The display features 10 original pieces, including eight large 1-metre panels, six 50x70 cm prints, and a series of A3 impressions, all availa-

Ortega, celebrated for his artwork for CalaPop since last year, brings a dynamic 60s-ish pop aesthetic to his illustrations, introducing levels of wit, beauty, and social commentary. Starting his career inspired by comic legends like Hergé, Jacobs, Chaland, and Daniel Torres, Ortega initially embraced a clear, expressive style. His evolution has led him to explore more realistic forms, infused with vivid
pop aesthetics that pay homage to the iconic, Beatlemania-affected era while addressing contemporary commentary. His work juxtaposes playful humour with profound visual depth, creating a unique contrast that draws both a smile and a sense of wonder from viewers. The exhibition is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 3pm and from 4pm to 10pm, and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. Entry is free of charge.
