Whether one’s mother is just starting to take lessons or is the Singles Champ of her club, anyone can benefit from some serious tennis coaching. Since many tennis programs are also located in destinations that are tempting vacation spots as well, holiday time goes along with the training.
Mouratoglou Academy, France They can’t promise a Grand Slam winning streak like Serena Williams’s, the most famous of the many tennis stars that Patrick Mouratoglou has coached, but the staff here will certainly up anyone’s game—and as an added bonus, the Academy is located in Biot on the Cote d’Azur, 15 minutes from Nice International Airport. The 30 acre resort contains 34 clay and hardcourts; adult tennis camps are available from June 17th to August 31st in either five day weekday or two day weekend, full day, half day or night session tennis instruction including physical and mental training. On site accommodations include a full scale resort and apartments. And since Patrick Mouratoglou lives nearby, he drops by and interacts with participants when he isn’t on tour with Holger Rune whom he’s currently coaching. Other top ranked pros such as Stefanos Tsitsipas also come here to train so you never know who’ll be hitting in the next court.
Mouratoglou Tennis Center at Costa Navarino, Greece The Mouratoglou coaching philosophy is also available at this center in the resort community of Costa Navarino overlooking the Ionian Sea in the southwest Peloponnese. There are 12 courts-seven clay, four hardcourt, one grass court-half and full day sessions available for instruction as well as tennis clinics, physical and tactical training and the ability to play full games against the pro. Then after sessions end, there’s a sandy beach and two resorts, The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, and The Westin Resort Costa Navarino and their full spas for recovery.
Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, Spain The 22 Grand Slam winner set up this academy in his hometown of Manacor, Mallorca in 2016 to pass along his methodology (or as much of the extreme physicality and slashing forehands that can be communicated.) This year, the Academy, with 43 clay and hardcourts, is opening its first adult camp from June 16th to August 25th offering 12 hours of technical tennis training, five hours of physical preparation and other activities plus seven nights at the resort Rafa Nadal Residence. Nadal’s first coach, his uncle Toni, and former World No. 1 Carlos Moyá, are in charge of the programs and Rafa drops in from time to time. There’s also a new facility in Mexico: the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre in Costa Mujeres which offers three-six day programs with training two hours a day and accommodations at the resorts TRS Coral Hotel and Grand Palladium
