How to choose a tennis training centre ?
As we have mentioned before, in order to join a training center specializing in teaching how to play tennis at a high level, you need to have a specific professional project. You will be joining an “academy” where you will share your time between your education and your sporting practice. Depending on the objectives that you have set yourself, you will be recommended to give a different approach to one discipline or the other. First of all, do not forget that your training is likely to take place all year long. You will therefore need to join a center that will offer access to several courts with different surfaces- clay and hard courts for example. Ideally, some of these courts have to be indoor courts so that you can train during the winter. This is the case of The Mouratoglou Academy which counts 33 clay and hard tennis courts, including 8 indoor courts and 5 additional courts under a bubble for training during the winter period for its young athletes.
An important criterion that you should take into account when choosing the right training center: Is the international scope of the training. In fact, if your main goal is to make a career as a high level tennis player, you will need to join from the beginning an entity that will have the experience and skills necessary for your development and for the achievement of your goals. By joining the Mouratoglou Center, you will have individual training sessions with the best players in the world. In addition to that, you will learn alongside students from different parts of the world: Another reason to improve your language skills!
Another important detail, when searching for a high level academy: is the kind of facilities and services they offer. The Mouratoglou Academy, open to the world and close to its members, strives to make your stay an immersive, unique and privileged experience. You will find many areas in the academy dedicated to the practice of sport, but also to your well being- pool, fitness room, spa and restaurants at the heart of the campus. Located in Sophia-Antipolis on the French Riviera between the cities of Nice and Cannes, the center has a privileged geographical position, close to a beautiful and touristic region with good weather 320 days a year! Many trips are organized as part of the tennis-study program, allowing the students to discover the French culture. For example, the Seaside Resort of Antibes is only 15 minutes from the Academy, this resort is known for its yacht marina.
