Tennis & school selection weeks at the Mouratoglou Academy

Joining the Mouratoglou Academy is a key step for young players wishing to combine academic excellence with an intensive tennis programme. To assess their level and potential, the Academy organises selection weeks throughout the year.

Why a selection week?

The selection week is a mandatory step to join the Tennis and School program. It allows us to ensure that candidates possess all the necessary qualities to follow this elite training.
These selections are much more than a simple evaluation: they mark the beginning of a transformative journey, where we make sure that young athletes find the ideal environment to excel in both sports and studies.
It is an exceptional opportunity because every year, our Tennis-Studies program reaches its maximum capacity, with only 200 spots available.

Founded by Patrick Mouratoglou, one of the most influential coaches on the international circuit, the Mouratoglou Academy is much more than a tennis school: it is a center of excellence, where each young person is trained to become both a top-level athlete and an accomplished student.

Thanks to a rigorously structured Tennis & School program, we offer a unique environment where sporting performance and academic success go hand in hand. The aim is to bring out each individual’s potential, while respecting their pace and ambitions.

Joining our academy means benefiting from tailor-made coaching and constant attention, whether on the courts or in the classroom. It also means choosing an elite structure founded on strong values: discipline, high standards, surpassing oneself and passion.

At the Mouratoglou Academy, every player is unique. That’s why our approach is based on a tailor-made methodology developed by Patrick Mouratoglou on the basis of over 25 years’ experience on the professional circuit.

This method is based on four essential pillars:

• A detailed analysis of the player: temperament, playing style, strengths, areas for improvement… Every detail counts in building a 100% individualised programme.
• Intensive, caring coaching: our coaches, trained in the Mouratoglou methodology, support each athlete with rigour, commitment and a detailed knowledge of the demands of top-level competition.
• In-depth work on all aspects of the game: technical, tactical, physical, mental, etc. Progress is global, continuous and performance-oriented.
• A strong coach-player relationship: trust and communication are at the heart of our method. The coach is a point of reference, a driving force and a constant support in the athlete’s progress.

Our ambition is to bring out the potential in each young person, helping them to develop not only as players, but also as individuals. Because training a champion means first and foremost understanding what drives him or her.

At the Mouratoglou Academy, performance cannot exist without balance. That’s why we place the child’s well-being at the heart of our Tennis-Études project, with a committed, multidisciplinary team that is always ready to listen.

Each youngster is supervised by :

• Committed coaches: with a ratio of 1 coach to 4 students, the support is personalised, rigorous and caring. All our coaches are trained in the Mouratoglou methodology, ensuring a coherent approach tailored to each profile.
• Attentive teachers: passionate about their profession, they provide individualised academic support and ensure that each student progresses at their own pace, while respecting their academic objectives.
• A committed Tennis-Études team: acting as a link between families, teachers and coaches, the team coordinates each student’s progress to ensure harmony between the sporting, academic and personal aspects.
• A nutritionist: on hand to teach youngsters about a balanced diet, adapted to the demands of training and growth.
• A psychologist: available to support students in their personal development, emotional management and day-to-day fulfilment.
• Health professionals: sports doctors, physiotherapists and osteopaths provide fast, high-quality care in a secure medical environment.

Located on the Côte d’Azur, between the sea and the mountains, the Mouratoglou Academy offers its students a living environment that is unique in Europe. More than just a training centre, it’s a truly international campus designed to encourage the development, concentration and serenity of each child.

• A premium environment: modern accommodation, comfortable living spaces, top-class sports facilities… Everything has been designed to meet the demands of top-level competition while guaranteeing a pleasant day-to-day life.
• Maximum security: the campus is fully enclosed, under 24-hour surveillance and accessible only to authorised persons. Teams are present around the clock to ensure the safety and well-being of the children, day and night.
• A well-balanced lifestyle: in addition to tennis and studying, students benefit from relaxing activities, rest areas and time shared in the community to create strong, lasting memories.

Joining the Mouratoglou Academy means much more than choosing a tennis school: it means becoming part of a cosmopolitan and multicultural environment, where more than 45 nationalities rub shoulders on a daily basis. This human and cultural richness opens minds, develops adaptability and prepares young people for life in a globalised world.

Each student receives an elite education, combining academic excellence with sporting excellence. Thanks to tailor-made support, our students build a solid, coherent career path that is valued by the best institutions.

Whether their ambition is to become a professional player or go to a prestigious university in France, Europe or the United States, our teams are with them every step of the way. Every year, many of the Academy’s students are awarded sports-study scholarships to the top American universities.

At the Mouratoglou Academy, we train players, but above all we train young people who are ready to succeed in their future, both in tennis and in life.
