MULTIPLE Emilio Sánchez Academy PROGRAMS

ES Academy offers its students a wide variety of program options to best suit their individual needs.

Tennis Top 6/11 Program: designed for student-athletes from 6 to 11 years of age, this program emphasizes the educational qualities of sport for younger players. The physical and tennis training becomes more intensive as the children grow and develop. Players progress from 9h/ week during first grade to 20h/week during 5th grade.

Tennis + School Annual Program: from 12 to 18 years old, this program is offered in a format that makes a student-athlete’s tennis training fully compatible with academic studies without compromising quality in either. The combined ES Academy & American School curriculum allows student-athletes to continue their academic studies while training at a high performance level.

Each student is assigned an Athletic Tutor, who is responsible for overseeing the athletestudent’s development, welfare and progress. The athletic tutor coordinates with each student’s Academic Advisor so that the academic and athletic needs of every student are aligned.
