French Tennis Academy

The French Tennis Academy's mission is to host young tennis players to enable them to meet an ambitious challenge: juggle their studies and high-level training. The objective is to increase the level of play of young people by improving their individual qualities, in a family atmosphere.

The two main values of the French Tennis Academy are the AMBITION and EXCELLENCE. This daily mindset is guided by the "no-limit" and a strong investment of coaches and athletes in their training.

All ambitious and coherent projects are worth be accompanied. The Academy supports every year a group of up to 8-10 young, and no one is left behind. In respect of the athlete, we customize the training of male and female players so that everyone can fully exploit its potential.

The French Tennis Academy is the new name of the Tennis Academy 53 since 2014.

The schedule of our Academy

The weekly program is adapted daily. It is individualized in intensity and volume. An adjustment is also made according to the tennis competitions and school performance: The aim is to preserve the physical and moral integrity of the player.

From monday morning to friday noon, the timetable is therefore divided between sporting niches and school slots, according to the following model:

• 13 hrs minimum tennis training, in individualized group or individually
• 8:00 hrs of physical preparation
• 5 slots for individual mental preparation, at the request of the athletes, by appointment
• 21 hours of schoolwork, including 9 hours of supervised study, plus evening slots

Changes can be made to the distribution of slots, taking into account the individual physical condition, the progress of school work, the merit linked to the investment, as well as the possible needs of the moment.

During the first training period (September-October), a list of objectives in each of the essential areas (technical, tactical, physical, mental) is established on a platform dedicated to the monitoring of each player: Ax Tennis. The programming is deposited and adjusted as and when. The photos and videos are also transferred there. The results of the physical tests are recorded on this same platform. Each athlete has a personal account and can be an actor of his training.
