The Best High Performance Tennis Academies In Europe…Reflections On A Coaches Tour Of Europe

This article has been adapted from Kovacs Institute, but we thought iTPA members would find it useful.

Over the last two years the Kovacs Institute has been fortunate to evaluate nearly two dozen of the top junior development tennis training environments. In 2022 it was going to major academies, training centers and visiting with top coaches in Florida. In 2023 it was evaluating the top training environments in Spain, France and Italy. The 2023 trip included nearly 20 top junior development coaches who work daily developing young talent from 6-18 years of age. The main goals of the tour were:

  1. To learn from some of the best tennis coaches, tennis teachers and academies across the spectrum of elite level junior tennis development.
  2. To better understand the level of the best junior players in the world at the various stages along the junior development pathway.
  3. Look for commonalities among the best coaches and why they have been successful for multiple decades.
