BOARDING SCHOOL 6TH - 12TH GRADE AND POST-GRADUATE OPTIONS AVAILABLE IMG Academy is the world’s premier boarding school for dedicated and passionate student-athletes. It’s the competitive atmosphere and the unmatched intensity and drive within the courts that creates such a balanced and supportive culture within IMG’s tennis program. Within the program, student-athletes have a progressive development track that includes: • Foundational: introduction to process goals and emphasis on technical development • Developmental: introduction to performance goals and continuation of technical skills development
• Junior Elite: highest level of accountability including a world junior or transition professional ranking • Professional: life commitment towards a WTA/ATP ranking
• Competitive: outcome and result-oriented goals; establishing identity and game style through competition As student-athletes progress through the development pathway, they will see a shift from technical and tactical aspects of the game to match strategy and patterns of play as well as tougher tournament schedules. No matter if a student-athlete aspires to join a high-level D1 program, attend a university of the highest academic regard, or compete on the WTA, ATP, or ITF tours, IMG Academy understands how to create a personalized track for every individual. Paired with challenging academics, IMG Academy’s tennis program’s college-preparatory environment offers a schedule that closely mirrors that of a collegiate program. Student-athletes are challenged on a daily basis to reach their full potential and to become champions on and off the court.
