The things families actually ask before they send a child to an academy two thousand miles away. If your question is not here, send it, and if it is a good one it goes on this page for the next family.
Twelve to sixteen, intermediate to advanced. We run younger and older groups separately through the year, so ask rather than assume.
Comfortable rallying with control and playing points. This is not a learn-to-play week. If you are not sure, send us a two-minute video and we will tell you.
Groups are set after the first session, on what we see rather than on what the booking form said. If a player is in the wrong group on Monday they are moved by Tuesday.
Yes, from twelve. Most do.
Deliberately small. We cap numbers so every group has a coach on the court for the whole session, and we would rather turn a booking away than go above it.
We tell you at least two weeks before, and you choose another week or take a full refund. We will never quietly run a week below the numbers it needs.
Two blocks a day, six days, around five to six hours on court and in the gym. Saturday morning is fitness on the beach and a swim.
Every day. We are an official UTR academy, so ranked matches can be arranged and recorded during the week if that is useful to them.
A written report at the end of the week covering technical work, physical work and what to take home. It is the point of the week, not an extra.
Yes, and we prefer it. Every player gets a WhatsApp group and you can put their home coach in it. Sessions can be filmed and sent.
The sun shows up almost every day of the year here, and rain costs us a training day perhaps twice a year. If one lands in your week, the session moves to the indoor gym and we do the physical work instead.
A member of TTA staff lives in the house and is there every night. Boys and girls are in separate houses. Staffing is set for each camp against the age and size of the group, and we will tell you what it is for your child's week.
Tania, the academy coordinator. One person, day or night, rather than whoever happens to answer.
Yes, tell us when you book. Otherwise they share with someone of the same sex and a similar age. Up to four to a room in the residence, two in the player house, and you can pay for a twin or a room of their own.
They keep them. Not on court during a session, and not after lights out at half past ten, because the first session is at eight.
Florencia, our physiotherapist, is on site through the week, so it is looked at within the hour. You hear from us the same day, whatever it is.
Tenerife South, TFS, fifteen minutes away, with direct flights from most major European cities. Tenerife North works too and is about an hour.
Yes. Book the airline's unaccompanied minor service and we will give you the receiving adult's name and document number. If you have booked the airline's chaperone service, their staff walk your child out to our named adult. If you have not, your child comes through to arrivals and we are there waiting.
Not if your child is staying with us. If you are here for the week yourself, hire one. The island is worth seeing and everything is close.
Door to door, €25 each way from Tenerife South and €75 from the north, for any number of people travelling together.
Usually yes, for the cost of the extra night. Ask when you book and we will price it.
Yes. Synergy Learning Centre is on the same site, teaching the British curriculum with a maximum of eight students to a teacher.
Everything is delivered through Google Classroom, so the work goes with them, and a class of eight means they are caught up individually when they get back.
None. The classroom block takes the middle of the day, when it is too hot to be on court anyway. There is no homework.
Yes, and we recommend it. Come for a camp or a training block first. If you then join full time, the full value of that week comes off your first payment.
Every price is quoted before IGIC and it is added on the invoice. IGIC runs at 7%, and 3% on some sport services, against 21% on the Spanish mainland.
10% off the training week for a second child from the same family, 5% off from three weeks and 10% from five. They do not stack, so we apply whichever is better for you.
You get a straight answer from somebody who coaches here, and if it is a good question it goes on this page for the next family.
