Two intelligent courts (Playsight) are available with the latest technology where players can maximize their training, obtain game statistics of each player as well as program different exercises of various difficulties depending on the level of the player, and analyze games and specific strokes.

The educational program offers players who want to include their studies with tennis training as an option. The main advantage is that the educational program is perfectly designed for the daily training program followed by kids at the academy. In fact, the kids who study have one hour less of training than those who only dedicate their time to training.
Spanish speaking students receive their academic studies from CIDEAD (Center for Innovation and Development from the E-Learning University). This type of e-learning education is designed by the State in order to adapt education to kids who need to combine their studies with hard tennis training.
The academy works with Kings College in Alicante for English speakers, where students attend to continue their education.
This academy has professors who offer support to the students, answer their questions and help them from a distance when they are away participating in a competition.
English or Spanish classes are also offered. It is important for an athlete to learn several languages and this academy offers the opportunity to continue improving the level of English or Spanish while they train to be a professional tennis player.
Camp Schedule
The busy day of a tennis player at the academy consists of several classes and training in the morning and afternoon. The academic education is designed perfectly for athletes and adapts to the training schedule of the player.
Weekends
Kids train on Saturday mornings during their last session of the week and spend Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday resting. Tournaments take place on the weekends so at times, kids spend this time participating in a competition or preparing for a future tournament.
The kids have free access to the rest of the facilities during their free time so they can have fun at the pool, play golf, use the TV room or for example, play soccer at the soccer 7 academy.
