Stan Smith and Billy Stearns have a true passion for teaching. In 2002, they founded the Academy for young players with a true passion for tennis.

Under Stan and Billy’s leadership, a staff of highly qualified coaches specifically trained in the Smith Stearns approach work one-on-one with committed young people to help them reach their full potential as players.

Supervised housing and an excellent college preparatory school curriculum help the students develop further – as scholars, as citizens and as young adults.
