Which is the best tennis academy for a junior player and what are the charges?

Answer 1

I'm a USPTA professional myself so you would probably hear me talking about my programs, but really, the best tennis academy isn't hard to find. The big names are always good, but they are very pricey because of the names that came out of the program and the founder. The problem is that the big players that come out of it could have even just been in that program for 1 month and they could stick their profile in the programs advertisements.

Anyways, to find the best programs, look for current players, current USTA stats and see where they learn. Very easy to find out. Look at what city they are from and from there, research the facilities.

Answer 2

what do you mean professional/career? If you're talking about being a world ranked tennis player then the chances are slim. They usually start very young, train every day, and have private coaches. Playing in a park isn't gonna cut it. If you're talking about becoming a tennis pro, like teaching tennis at a tennis club then sure you can start a career in that. you need to join a tennis club and get lessons though. Tennis is a skill sport and not just a sport you can "pick up" easily by learning yourself

Answer 3

IMG which is the old Bolleteries,( SARASOTA) I am biased I lived their for two years and my game exploded. I was not their typical baseliner, but my serve and volley game got where I wanted it to be. I would guess cost wise it is 3-4k a month I may be wrong. They offer one week stays. I would skip them and just have him or her work with there coach and play a tournament. I learned a lot, but what I learned the most was the mental toughness stuff and how to carry myself on the court. The cross-training is hard , but great. I promise you will not leave that place with sleepy feet. It is beaten into you( figure of speech) to run down every ball until it bounces twice. The weather can get hot, but that is OK Your kid will have to play some matches in some tough conditions. Just a FYI it is like a little Military academy if your kid fights discipline he or she will be a unhappy camper.

Answer 4

I would say alltime it's the Bolletieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He has worked with Andre Agassi, Monica Seles, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras, Anna Kournikova, Jimmy Arias, Carling Bassett and many other superstar players over his career. Ok, things didn't go so well with Kournikova, but his track record is hard to beat. The charges are for Bolletieri's are hefty, but worth it if you pan out to become a worldclass player.
