The IA Tennis Academy develops champions from “the inside-out” through a transformational program that recognizes how character and the right heart, drive accomplishment. Our international coaching staff, with over 30 years of experience coaching elite and national teams, provides world renowned training and mentorship for tennis players at all ages and levels. Inspiration Academy coaches have proven results with a track record of developing champions from 6 years of age to pro-tournament winners, coaching both Davis Cup and Federation Cup Teams, and producing players who were awarded hundreds of college scholarships. From the time a player walks onto our courts, they experience something dramatically different. Our players experience real, quantifiable results. It is the intensive commitment to our “inside out training” that sets IA apart. Welcome to the difference.

At Inspiration Academy Tennis, our goal is to transform competitive junior or professional players to their maximum level of play. We do this by providing an individualized “inside-out” training program that takes place both on and off the court. Our system covers technical, tactical, physical, mental, and emotional elements of becoming a great player. While tennis is an individual sport with a high level of autonomy for players, we also do group training with players receiving individual personalized help within the group time. To complete the training off the court, we offer character development and one-on-one mentorship to develop well-rounded players.
