Feedback and follow up

Each student's development is meticulously monitored and evaluated based on their athletic commitment and academic performance, as outlined at the beginning of each term. At the end of every term, players receive a comprehensive performance report, serving as both a progress guide and strategic roadmap. This report forms the foundation for in-depth discussions between the student's family, academic mentors and assigned coaches during parent-teacher-coach meetings, ensuring continuous support and improvement. 

The sport programme is articulated around 4 major pillars:

- Hard work and the repetition of essential technical fundamentals
- An intensive physical preparation
- Mental coaching and player stimulation
- The implementation of an intensive competition program

The sport season is articulated around 5 distinctive periods :

  • September

FRAMING

Our teams provide round-the-clock supervision for young people, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

They ensure that the rules of life are respected, ensure that each player is well and animate collective time. Evenings and rest periods are organized in such a way as to support each young person in their organization and personal development. Within the campus itself, residents have various infrastructures available to entertain themselves: ping-pong tables, swimming pool, cinema room, table football. The provision of a laundrette allows each of them to organize themselves to wash their laundry during the week.

COMPETITION

COMPREHENSIVE  ANNUAL TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE

Located in the Hérault region, our players have access to an extensive tournament calendar, featuring over 45 Open tournaments throughout the year including all levels of every ages (high national and international players). Additionally, they can compete in numerous international youth tournaments (ITF and U14) across southern France and northern Spain—just a 2.5-hour drive away. Players will also attend UTR tournaments every week in the academy.

Comprehensive support for competitions

Competition allows each student to measure their progress and work mentally match after match. Coaching during matches is essential to ensure that each player applies what they have learned in training. The academy is committed to providing support for each competition, including warm-ups, match analysis, and performance debriefings.

Unmatched Competitive Exposure

> 18 to 20 official tournaments between September and June, surpassing most other academies.
> Opportunity to  participate in up to  8 additional summer tournaments, ensuring year-round competive experience. Our structured tournament schedule is designed to maximize player development and prepare them for the highest levels of competition.

MENTAL PREPARATION : A Tree-Step Approach to Peak Performance

Success in tennis is not just physical—it’s mental. Our structured approach to mental training ensures players develop the resilience, focus, pressure management, build confidence, and self-awareness needed to compete at their best and most importantly, stay mentally healthy in competitions.

Step 1: In-Depth Player Analysis
🔹 During the first two months, our coaches closely observe each player’s on- and off-court behavior to assess their mental strengths and identify areas for support.

Step 2: Group Workshops
🔹 Regular group sessions foster self-reflection, goal seting, and mental awareness, helping players understand the mindset required for success.

Step 3: Personalized Support
🔹 If a player expresses the need or a coach identifies specific challenges, individual consultations are arranged for targeted mental coaching.

Tailor-made national and international U14 & U18 competitions

A complete and varied international program: ITF, Tennis Europe, for players who have reached the necessary level.
