The Ideal Tennis Training and Academic Study Environment

“Our academy graduates go to Harvard, they go to Duke, they go to Columbia… but they also go to Wimbledon.” Emilio Sánchez Vicario

Nearly two decades ago, tennis greats Emilio Sanchez and Sergio Casal opened Academia Sanchez-Casal (ASC) in Barcelona, Spain. Their mission was to provide serious tennis players with a base academy that featured a custom-designed academic curriculum, combined with advanced tennis and athletic performance training, to enable them to achieve maximum success both on and off the court.

Today, ASC has two world-renowned school and training destination academies located in Barcelona, Spain and Naples, Florida, as well as a third one in Nanjing, China, offering only the tennis program. Its alumni have ascended to the top of every level of competitive tennis, from junior national and international rankings and titles, to Collegiate AllAmerican status and NCAA titles, to Olympic medals, to ATP/WTA titles, top 10 ATP/WTA rankings and Major Championship titles. Additionally, ASC is proud of how over the past 18 years its College Planning and Placement Program has consistently guided academy graduates into excellent collegiate programs while receiving some form of athletic and/or academic scholarship assistance. In fact, on average:
