Camp Includes professional tennis instruction, daily catered kosher lunch for full-day registrants, off-site swimming and conditioning at the Tanenbaum Family Pool, team competitions and individual games: olympic day, soccer, basketball, pickleball, relay races, and other fun cooperative activities, theme days and a camp t-shirt.

Atlas Tennis

www.atlas.tennis

Director Ben Shapiro – ben@atlas.tennis

(914) 462-6406  

Atlas Tennis creates trips to Europe for teenage tennis players ages 13-18 to experience what it’s like to be a touring pro—training, competing in tournaments, and being immersed in different cultures every week.

Our 2-3 week summer trips originate in New York and fly to Europe, with stops in beautiful countries like Spain, Switzerland, and The Netherlands to compete in multiple official tournament matches against local players—with most of the results counting for UTR and/or WTN.

The ideal player is motivated, not afraid to step out of their comfort zone, and ready for the trip of a lifetime! They should have at least some previous competitive experience in tournaments or school tennis, and play at a level between approximately a 5 to 9 UTR. Reach out directly for more info about our typical level of player.

Many of our players are interested in playing college tennis, which Atlas Tennis can be a big help with, but this is not a requirement and some of our players are only considering club tennis in college.

Most of the daily training and tournament matches will be on European red clay, a huge benefit for development as it emphasizes movement, patience, and point construction. Our goal is to help each player learn how to become a better competitor and make adjustments to different opponents and conditions, skills that they can bring home with them.

Each trip has approximately 8-12 players and 2-3 professional coaches and chaperones who are with the group 24/7 to ensure their safety and supervision. Each coach is required to submit multiple references and must complete CPR/First Aid Certification, USTA SafePlay Compliance certification, and a background check. In addition to the priority on responsibility, our coaches are all experienced college players and/or coaches, and have the perspective and expertise to help guide our players with the college process.

All the logistics are taken care of by our experienced staff, including flights, accommodations, meals, transportation, tournament registrations, and court bookings.

The Director of Atlas Tennis, Ben Shapiro, has run similar trips for many years and previously was an NCAA Championship coach at Wesleyan University in addition to working full time at the USTA in professional tennis.

Atlas Tennis was founded by a respected and experienced group of influential tennis minds. The group includes:

Eric Butorac, Director of Pro Tennis Operations and Player Relations at the US Open and 2014 Australian Open Men’s Doubles Finalist

Megan Mouton-Levy, General Manager of Player Development at Junior Tennis Champions Center and member of the USTA Board of Directors. Former top-50 WTA Player.

Andrew Chmura, President of Grand Slam Tennis Tours

Sam Duvall, President of Topnotch Management, agent of pros included John Isner, Caroline Garcia, Cam Norrie, and more.
