How about the Rick Macci academy?

If they have har tru courts, and such great facilities ( are awesome), I wonder why they do not push the students to play more on it!, to learn real tennis!, not only new american style, great serve and hit the winner at the first shot. They have to learn patience, different shots, strategy, not only hit hard. That is the reason USA tennis is so bad in this days.

You forgot JTCC in College Park, Maryland. They have produced players like Frances Tiafoe and Denis Kudla. They also have the number 3 girls junior in the world and number one boys 18U player in the nation.

Weil academy🔥🔥

Great video. I think you missed John Newcombe in New Braunfels. Thank you.

Will try to make a video about that sometime soon!

I’ve been to Saddlebrook in Florida for their adult camp, and Total tennis in upstate New York is a more affordable option.

I’m at Van Der Meer and what I learned today as an adult was mind blowing 🤯

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

That’s great to hear!

True. It must come from within the player.

I will teach my kids the way

That's big business. Same with equipment endorsements .

well said.

Will do 👍🏼

Looking forward to the European one as well!

And also top Asian tennis academies!

The Europeans mostly come here to train and go to school.

@Matthew Park Hmm… that’s good to know. I guess they just want a known name to be at their location.

I guess you did not here about he other 15 at least

Fritz is Kathy May's son...MAY Company

👍🏼👍🏼

Vander Meer was burned out and suffered bad health problems. Really a sad ending for him. He did a lot to promote tennis in the 1970's and 1980's and founded Tennis University.

He had a MASSIVE STROKE

well you can always train by yourself for free :D coaches are not cheap in any sport not just tennis.

Great academy but didn't make it into our top 10!

@@mytennishqtv8696 What is the criteria for determining this list?

Thanks for the comment Matthew - obviously both the Macci Academy and Rick Macci are incredibly competent and successful over the years. It can be very difficult to rank academies since there are so many factors to consider and rating them is very subjective, so the fact that it didn't make it into OUR list doesn't mean that it wasn't or will be at some point, and it doesn't mean that it is not in someone else's top 10 list. We tried to rank them based on several different criteria that included costs, infrastructure, alumni success, location, our own perception of the academies, and overall online player reviews. Hope that clarifies it!

If you're doing a software engineering course, I would have to guess about your age. You are probably not 12 or under? That would be about the latest I would suggest a person could make a serious run at being a pro. By way of comparison, look at the top pro's, and you will see most of them started much younger, and by the age of 12 or so, have already had a few thousand hours of court time behind them. If you are determined to go for it, fine, give it a go. I'd suggest you save your money though, and try a European facility. I can recommend you a number of places in the UK where you pay an annual membership of under £200, and then court time is free. You can play as much as you like to begin with (depending on court availability - one place I'm thinking of has 9 courts, and mon-fri is generally easy to get on court from 9am - 3pm), and they have professional coaches. I would say your best bet is to get a solid basis after a lot of practise, and once you feel like you're ready (you may already be there), start increasing your weekly time on court. You would probably want 10-15 hours a week on court before taking things to the next level.

Hi there! Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I think you make very good points - we tried ranking the academies to the best of our abilities, and as you mentioned ultimately it’s very subjective. While Rick Macci is a fantastic academy and would probably make others’ top 10 rankings, we decided to only include the 10 in the video. As per Karue’s Tier 1 Academy, we decided to not include it in here as it would be too much of a bias. Lastly, please note that this is our new channel, My Tennis HQ TV, which will be focused on a somewhat different type of content than what you’re likely used to seeing on My Tennis HQ. Hope that helps and thanks for your support!

I didn’t know that - very interesting! How much does it usually cost per year?

@@mytennishqtv8696 for a competitive budget, racing in manufacturers' championship, easily 200 gran a year...tires are the killer, tires for practice i mean ( its like having to change new shoes, apparels and rackets after each tennis match/training session, and dump the old ones)...that is just for 1 manufacturer championship..usualy drivers compete in several manufacturers championship in a year to gain mileage for a better chance to graduate to formula cars... Most young aspirant drivers are funded by their parents and most of them struggle to make ends meet...some even use used tires to compete... Its crazy... I myself competed for 3 years from 04 to 06 and gave up eventually because of sponsorship.... Then i found my second love....which is more affordable....tennis.... ! 😂 I think low atp ranked tennis players earn better money than their racing driver equivalent...

@@lichaernuaiman6998 Really ? I watched here on youtube that ATP players rank outside 100 doesn't break even. Unless you're a national player. Which you can get support from the government.

@@riderone8552 which goes to say that the best kind of sport to earn a living in lower division is team sport....football especially...wanna earn fast, play football...everything is being taken care of when youre signed with a club...

Especially if one has F1 aspirations!
