"I am proud of the Newcombe Tennis Academy and the staff
who lead the Academy. Our director, Bob McKinley, is a world class leader
in the field of coaching, just as Babolat and FILA are leaders in the tennis
industry. Together, I believe we represent the finest tennis academy in the
world."

tennis programs in the country. Our tennis packages are designed to ensure

level of play.
The Newcombe Tennis Academy is more than just a training
ground for dedicated and talented young tennis players. It is a family of
players, professionals and mentors, unlimited in their goals, by becoming
one unified team striving for excellence. We are a home away from home, where
building strong bodies and strong values are the heart of our game. We are
professionals longing to develop the entire person, not just the player.
MISSION - To develop the entire person. To impact
each child's life through the sport of tennis. To unleash a player's potential.
PROGRAM
One of the world's finest tennis academies, our world class
tennis program uses every aspect of tennis training to develop a player's
full potential with a strong emphasis on match play and tournament competition.
Because of our modest size, we maintain an individualized focus within an
academy setting.

development of every student makes me feel like I have 50 sons and daughters
