Player Camp Junior – Tennis & English | One-week tennis camp
Mouratoglou Academy French Riviera, Biot (France)
- Duration Monday to Saturday morning
- Opening hours 7.30 am – 12.30 pm (Summer only)
- Age Ages 6 to 17
- Level All levels
One morning, two activities: tennis and English
The Junior Player Camp – Tennis & English combines training on the Mouratoglou Academy courts with English lessons every morning. Supervised by a coach from the academy, your child will train in small, ability-matched groups (maximum of four players per court), before joining teachers from the Mouratoglou International School for a 1½-hour English lesson. The rest of the day is free. This camp is available in the summer only.
The Junior Player Camp – Tennis & English programme includes:
- Morning tennis training, in groups organised by ability
- 1 hour 30 minutes of English daily, with teachers from the Mouratoglou International School
- Game Report: a personalised assessment of your child’s progress
- Welcome Pack
The Game Report
The review following each week of the course
The Player Camp Junior – Tennis and English concludes with a Game Report: an individual review of the week, so that each player leaves with a clear idea of what they have mastered and what they need to continue working on.
- Their game — the skills they’ve already mastered in their serve, return, from the baseline and at the net, and those still developing during rallies.
- Their attitude — how they cope with a mistake or a crucial point.
- Their next priorities — what they’ve learnt this week and the areas to work on.
A Game Report that really comes into its own over time: from one training camp to the next, it allows players to track their progress. A version is also provided to share on social media.
Elsewhere, you leave having reached a certain level. Here, you leave knowing what to build on.
Accommodation: Everything in one place
At the Mouratoglou Academy, everything takes place in one place. Your child will stay in the boarding house on campus, which is open to children aged 9 to 17 — or, if accompanied by an adult, at the 4★ Mouratoglou Hotel & Resort or the Résidence. The choice is made at the time of enrolment, and full board can be added as an option, regardless of the package chosen.
A schedule designed to support their morning training sessions: comfortable rooms, tailored meals and staff on hand at all times. And because the campus brings together students from many different countries, your child will be exposed to other cultures well beyond their tennis and English lessons.
In practical terms:
- Arrival on Sunday, departure on Saturday morning
- Staff on site day and night, 7 days a week, including CCTV
- 76 rooms with toilets, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and Wi-Fi
- 2 to 4 young people per room
- Canteen-style catering, with a balanced buffet tailored to athletes
- Study room and media library
- Games room
- TV and cinema room
The options available at the Junior Player Camp – Tennis & English
-
One-to-One – Individual coaching (3 hours or 5 hours)
As well as group sessions, an Academy coach is dedicated entirely to your child. Choose a 3-hour or 5-hour package, to be spread out as you wish throughout the week, to build on what has been identified during group sessions.
-
Mental Boost – 3 sessions
Identify your profile, observe yourself in a match situation, then debrief together on the priorities: three steps to strengthen your mind as much as your game.
-
Recovery – Baths, pressotherapy, massage
The Academy’s sports medicine centre takes over between match days, offering cold baths, pressotherapy and massage to help the body recover. A health questionnaire must be completed in advance to rule out any contraindications.
-
Recovery Pack
Two pressotherapy sessions and two recovery baths, squeezed in between the days to keep me feeling fresh right through to the end of the week.
-
Nutrition
The Academy’s dietitian and nutritionist will discuss the following with your child: body type, diet and hydration, to ensure their meals are tailored to their training schedule.
-
Physical Check-up + Massage
A comprehensive assessment of your physical condition — body composition, fitness tests, a bespoke training programme tailored to your individual needs — followed by a half-hour massage.
-
Pack of 4 baths
Four recovery baths spread throughout the week, to give you a chance to wind down between training sessions — useful when getting back into training or after a busy period.
-
UTR Event – Saturday & Sunday
In the summer, an UTR tournament can extend the training camp into the following weekend, depending on the rankings — giving players the chance to put what they’ve just practised to the test in a match.
-
Full board
The three meals — breakfast, lunch and dinner — are served in the canteen, in addition to the boarding facilities. Open to children aged 9 to 17.
-
Transfers
The Academy provides an optional transfer service from Nice Airport or Antibes railway station to the campus.

An environment tailored to his development
The Mouratoglou Academy covers 13 hectares in Sophia-Antipolis, between Nice and Cannes — a site designed from start to finish for playing tennis. Thirty-three courts, including eight indoor courts so you’re never at the mercy of the weather, a sports medicine centre dedicated to recovery, fitness rooms and swimming pools to complement training on the court.
The Junior Player Camp – Tennis and English takes place on this very campus, where your child will meet young people from all over the world every morning — and, occasionally, professionals such as Holger Rune or Coco Gauff who come here to train. A week spent training in the very same setting as the tennis elite, whilst improving their English.
