Perfect Combination of Athletics and Academics

ES International School shares a campus with the world-renowned Academia Sanchez-Casal, and this affiliation is best represented by our combined mottos:

Academia Sánchez-Casal: Creating opportunities in tennis, education and life.

ES International School: Creating opportunities in education, sports and life.

We are also affiliated with Barcelona International Water Polo Academy (BIWPA), working together to provide the best opportunities to students who wish to pursue water polo at a collegiate level.

MULTIPLE ASC PROGRAMS

ASC 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 ASC/ES International 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.

ACADEMIA SÁNCHEZ-CASAL: HIGH-PERFORMANCE TENNIS

Academia Sánchez-Casal is a successful tennis academy created by Emilio Sánchez Vicario and Sergio Casal in 1998 and is considered a world renowned institution for its unique tennis training system and for developing elite players such as Murray, Kuznetsova, Dimitrov, and Hantuchova, among others.

The unique Sanchez-Casal 360 Tennis System©, designed by Emilio Sánchez and Sergio Casal, delivers a proven combination of tennis development training, with strategic, technical and tactical programming, alongside access to high quality competition. The ASC 360 Tennis System© works in phases according to the ASC Tennis Pyramid©. Modules can adjust to any age and level, so players can train at any stage of the pyramid. Players train and learn in one of the most prestigious academies in the world, with the best services and sports installations which include tennis courts, a swimming pool, gym, physiotherapy center, and much more.

In the Sports Science department, all services that the player may need are included on site, such as physical training, nutrition, sports psychology, and physiotherapy.

Transcontinental program Florida and Barcelona

ASC and ES International School provide an International Student Exchange Program featuring dual ASC campuses in Naples, Florida and Barcelona, Spain.

ASC is the only residential tennis academy in the world to have wholly-owned campus headquarters located in both Europe and the United States. Its Exchange Program offers high school and middle school students the exclusive opportunity to pursue college preparatory academic studies while training within high-performance tennis academy programs, completing one semester in Naples and one semester in Barcelona.

The academics offered in each location are compatible from one semester to the next, so students can move seamlessly between the two campuses in both academics and tennis training. The Naples school can also issue I-20s for F-1 visas. Unlike other academies, each ASC campus has its tennis facilities, school and residences within the same property creating a safe, fun, and healthy family environment for all student athletes.

Emilio Sánchez is based in Naples, and Sergio Casal is based in Barcelona. This ensures that the respective programs they direct and the world class coaching staff they manage will deliver consistent training experiences to their Exchange Program athletes at both academies.

ASC Exchange Program students will have the opportunity to play a wider array of international tournaments, and compete against a much broader spectrum of players, while living in two different countries during one school year.

The cultural enrichment to be realized from this program, via its international array of students, coaches and teachers, is unparalleled in the industry. There’s no better way than this Exchange Program, to prepare a tennis player for the collegiate athletic and academic experience. Additionally, ASC and ES International School staff in both locations will work together to provide the hands-on university placement guidance required to match its student athletes with the appropriate colleges or universities.
