Giving students the one-on-one time to improve specific areas of their game

To enhance a student’s development, private tennis lessons taught by our world-class coaches are recommended as supplementary to the Smith Stearns Tennis Academy experience. As an elite junior tennis academy, we believe that private tennis lessons give each student the necessary time to work on specific areas of their game that need improvement. In addition, private lessons help the student to develop a strong relationship with one of our coaches. Both time spent and coaching expertise are fundamental to the success of our players.

Private tennis lessons are available for full-time students and guests and can be scheduled through the Smith Stearns Tennis Academy Office. As certain coaches are in high demand, it is encouraged to request your tennis lessons in advance to ensure availability. Lesson schedules are released the Sunday before the upcoming week.

We’re fortunate to live in a beautiful Lowcountry sub-tropical climate. When rain does occur, it’s usually for short periods of time and has a minimal effect on our training schedule. During such rainy weather, our students train at our Smith Stearns Sports Performance Center and participate in a combination of educational tennis workshops and physical fitness exercises. These gym workouts and fitness are a part of the Smith Stearns tennis program. No refunds are given for suspension of on-court play due to rain.
