Overview
A tennis holiday for grown-ups at a professional sports academy in Bradenton, on Florida's Gulf Coast — the same place where talented juniors and touring pros train, with the same coaching approach, adapted to your level. It's regularly ranked among the best adult tennis camps in the US.
Each day has two coached tennis sessions. They cover technique, singles and doubles tactics, footwork, movement and recovery, and build from fed-ball drills to live-ball drills and then points, so new skills end up in your match play. Depending on the day, there's also a session on the mental side of the game or on nutrition. Groups are small and coaches mix the intensity through the week, so you notice the difference by Friday.
Come for 1, 3 or 5 days, Monday to Friday — on your own, with a partner or with friends. You can go home or to your own accommodation each evening, or stay at a modern boutique hotel steps from the courts. On 3- and 5-day camps you can add an extra hour of one-to-one or two-to-one coaching on most days. And when you're off court, there's an 18-hole golf course and a club-fitting studio on the same campus.

Where you stay
You can join without accommodation, or stay at a contemporary boutique hotel just steps from the academy's courts — the 'with hotel' prices include it. It has its own restaurant and bar serving Florida-grown produce and local seafood, an outdoor pool and a lawn with games for the end of the day. Travelling as a couple or a family? Non-playing partners can stay with you; tell us who's coming and we'll check the rooms and prices.
Meals
Lunch is included on every camp day. Other meals are up to you — the hotel restaurant (20% off for campers Monday to Thursday, 4–6 pm) and the campus cafés are right there. Tell us about any dietary needs when you book.

Frequently asked questions
What level do I need to be?
Any level. The coaching is the same professional approach the academy uses with its juniors and pros, but you're grouped with players of a similar standard and the drills are adapted to you. Plenty of campers come to get ready for their league season or to move up their club's lineup — and plenty just want a week of really good tennis in the sun.
1, 3 or 5 days — what's the difference?
Every option has two tennis sessions a day, lunch and a mental or nutrition session. The 3- and 5-day camps also include a year of the academy's online training videos and guides and a Therabody TheraCup recovery gadget, and you can add extra personal coaching: an hour of one-to-one or two-to-one coaching on two days of a 3-day camp, or four days of a 5-day camp, starting on day 2. One day is a great taster; five days is where you really see the change.
What does it cost?
Prices change with the dates, so these are 'from' prices (October 2026), per person: 1 day from US$299, 3 days from US$1,229, 5 days from US$1,599 without accommodation; with a hotel room steps from the courts, from US$839, US$2,309 and US$3,219. Extra personal coaching on a 3- or 5-day camp costs extra — ask us. Returning campers get US$100 off a 3-day and US$250 off a 5-day camp, and a friend you refer saves US$50 or US$100. Tell us your dates and we'll get you the exact price.
Can I bring my partner or family?
Yes. They can stay with you at the hotel, and there's plenty to do — the 18-hole golf course and the club-fitting studio are on the same campus, and the Gulf Coast beaches are close by. If your children play a sport, they could even join one of the academy's camps for young people the same week. Ask us and we'll put it together.
When can I come?
Adult camps run Monday to Friday through most of the year — you pick the days. Tell us when you'd like to come and we'll check availability for you.
How do I get there?
Fly to Sarasota–Bradenton (SRQ, about 15 minutes away) or Tampa (TPA, about an hour). From both airports there's a private car or a shared shuttle, and transfers from other Florida airports are possible on request — we'll book it together with your camp. Flights aren't included.
What if I need to cancel?
It depends on how you book. A refundable booking gets its money back minus a 2.5% fee if you cancel at least 48 hours before arrival. A non-refundable booking can be changed or cancelled up to 7 days before arrival for a US$100 fee, and you get the rest as a credit for another camp within a year. We'd recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation.
Do I need a visa?
If you have a passport from a Visa Waiver country — Czechia and most of the EU included — you need an approved ESTA (the online US travel authorisation) before you fly, so apply a few weeks ahead. For any other passport, ask us and we'll check what applies.
