Smith Stearns offers some of the world’s most acclaimed tennis programs, especially designed to help young people develop athletically while supporting their academic, social and emotional growth during the important teen years.

We provide a high-performance level of instruction in an elite setting - emphasizing individual instruction in low ratio camps or one-on-one settings to ensure quality interacton between junior players and world-class coaches.

We are able to address a student's "entire game"  with a combination of drilling, strategy, mental preparedness, patterns of play, point set up, and match play philosophy. To ensure a high level of technical development, we utilize both soft and hard court training to promote good footwork, sound tactics, and a disciplined approach to playing extended points. In addition to good court performance, we also encourage students to develop good character, sportsmanship, and overall integrity.

By limiting enrollment to just 40 juniors per session, we are able to ensure a more personal atmosphere and provide more one-on-one time to each player enrolled at the academy. It's our way of affording each student the individual time necessary for his or her ultimate success.

Full-time, weekly and summer programs are available.

Full-time students can opt to stay with house parents and attend local schools. This residence program ensures that students are well-supervised and well-supported.
