Bollettieri Tennis Academy

The Bollettieri Advantage


The Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy (NBTA) system of instruction has produced many of the world's top players including Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Tommy Haas, Monica Seles, Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova. Our track record is impressive, but the success has not been by accident. It takes years of hard work, planning, monitoring, evaluating and setting goals to help each player reach his or her full potential. It also demands a commitment to the Bollettieri Creed on the part of the athlete and the coach.

The Nick Bollettieri Adult Tennis (NBTA) Programs are designed to ensure that every student receives the technical, tactical, physical and mental training within an optimum learning environment. NBTA programs are intense, but they are also a great learning experience, geared toward all levels of play, and a lot of fun. Each day is spent going through a series of innovative drills, exercises and match play situations designed to enhance stroke production mechanics and improve singles and doubles play.

Each and every coach utilizes the “Bollettieri Method” – a proven system of training perfected over a 26 – year period.

Our periodized approach to training has been perfected with over 20 years experience.

The Bollettieri Traveling Team competes in over 80 tournaments in 34 countries. 

Students are exposed to a variety of competition environments – in-house, USTA, ITF, WTA/ATP events. 

Our students learn to compete each day – playing matches against different ages, abilities and styles of play. 

Students are filmed for Stroke Production analysis.

We feature the “Strategy Zone” – a Theater of Learning with 13 match play analysis stations and supervised classes each week. 

Video cameras on court record matches which students review each week.

They layout of the courts is designed to help you train at maximum intensity while receiving instruction. 

Our staff consists of COACHES – not just teachers.

Our coaches meet daily to discuss student progress and improvements to the program.

IMG Academies’ Mental Conditioning coaches provide unparalleled training to all students. 

The International Performance Institute (IPI) has world-class facilities, highly trained performance specialists and nutritional education programs.

NBTA programs are the most comprehensive in the industry and include video analysis, mental and physical training options aimed to impact on court performance. With 56 championship courts (including four indoor), Mental Conditioning expertise, the International Performance Institute and the Bollettieri Sports Medicine Center, the NBTA is well equipped to produce results.

Nick Bollettieri and the NBTA are the most famous coach and academy, respectively, in the history of the game. The number of world class players who have trained or are currently training with Nick/NBTA is remarkable. NBTA adult programs mirror the features and philosophies used to train today's and tomorrow's champions while gearing them to the individual ability level of our adult student.

The bottom line is that within the NBTA adult programs, work is efficient, goals are clear, practice is fun and results are achieved. You can go anywhere to be "taught", but if you are ready to "train", the NBTA is waiting for you!

Video Analysis


NBTA video analysis system allow an instructor to film a student's practice session and match play, break it down, and then identify each teaching point and illustrate them to the student. NBTA Mental Conditioning Coaches utilize video analysis as a means to improve the mental aspects of the game. Students are then given the video at the end of the program.

Fun


NBTA has a reputation for unrivalled excellence. NBTA, however, also strives to bring as many fun elements into its daily tennis instruction as possible. This helps to enhance the learning process as a whole.

Mental Conditioning


Mental Conditioning Coaching is available to help address students' general attitudes toward the game, and to cover some of the more specific Mental Conditioning techniques that can be used.

Fitness Training


Sport-specific physical fitness is widely regarded as being a cornerstone to the success of any athlete. NBTA recognizes the importance of fitness training for tennis and can format and implement tennis-specific training programs according to the needs of each student.

Sports Medicine


After a long day of training, muscles are sore and joints ache. The Bollettieri Sports Medicine Center (BSMC) provides physical therapy, podiatry and the ever-inviting massage. As part of a regeneration program, a massage is an excellent choice. BSMC offers Swedish, neuromuscular and sports massages.

Adult: Pro Max


The Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy (NBTA) Pro Max Performance training program is the same integrated system used by our touring pros. This program is designed for the serious adult player looking to enhance all aspects of their game including technical, tactical, mental and physical performance.

Each program includes intense on court drilling, private (one on one) lesson and video analysis of technical, tactical and mental performance. Additionally, your off court training will include workouts to improve speed, agility and mental performance. To optimize your training, each player will receive regeneration massages from the Bolletteri Sports Therapy department.
