Playing tennis abroad gives new perspective, mental strength and a fresh environment in which to discover your game and yourself.

So what’s the big deal about experiencing tennis in Spain?
The main reason is that Spain is not only a top tourist destination in the world, but a country where tennis represents an international example of excellence. With 10 of the top ATP Tour players hailing from this special place on the Mediterranean, you have to wonder … what makes it such a tennis powerhouse?

To be clear, Spain has a “pay it forward” system in which each generation of coaches and highly-ranked Tour players nurtures the next. Coaches develop kids from an early age and typically stay together cultivating their player’s game and character over the long haul. The temperate climate of the Mediterranean allows players to play outdoors year-round on red clay, developing their all-court game.

Mental and physical conditioning in Spain are paramount, but it’s their passion and dedication that separates them as champions!

Experienced players
Fortunate to have firsthand experience with these coaches, including custom programs, Costa del Tennis focuses on experienced adults, college and high school players. For ambitious players, there is no greater tennis and life experience than training like the pros on red clay. Tennis travelers have ambitious lifestyles on and off court, and Costa del Tennis covers both.

The academies
The academies and clubs are based on the excellence of players. Coaches are nothing less than ATP Tour pros who have played on tour with ATP Rankings or are experienced in high-level competition. The philosophy on court is to prepare players for national or international levels of play. Adult teams and coaches find excellent resources for their future in tennis, either for competitive or club play. Tennis holidays include boutique accommodation, 15 hours on-court instruction and play-per-week, leaving more time to explore these compelling regions at your own pace.

The perfect combination
Combining Spain’s ultimate tennis instruction, dynamic destinations and ideal accommodations make your tennis travel experience one for the memory books.
