Tennis Anyone?

For students who are interested in practicing tennis while they are in Spain, we are offering a week-by-week intensive program. Students can choose to add 1 or 2 sweeks of instruction, which takes place in the late afternoon. Tennis players receive 2-3 hours of instruction and physical conditioning training each day, Monday to Friday, from Spanish National Junior Team Coach Nicolás Pérez and his training team. In every case, the coaches and instructors will assess the appropriate level of instruction for the student and will group accordingly. Students also have access to all club facilities, including the swimming pool. Students are often included in groups with a number of Spanish players, and we strongly encourage our students to view these as opportunities for new friendships, also!

All participants are expected to provide their own appropriate clothing and equipment.
