Improve your tennis. Learn French. In just one week.
At the Mouratoglou Academy, the Tennis & French Camp is structured around two key activities: training on the courts and learning French. Mornings are dedicated to tennis, in small groups of similar ability (maximum four players per court), under the guidance of an academy coach. This is followed by French lessons with teachers from the Mouratoglou International School, before a second session of tennis and fitness training at the end of the day.
The Tennis & French Camp programme:
- 2 tennis sessions per day, organised by ability level
- 1½ hours of French daily, taught by the Mouratoglou International School
- Lunch and evening activities
- Game Report: your child’s personalised progress report
- Welcome Pack
The Game Report
The review following each week of the course
At the end of the Tennis & French Camp, your child will take home their Game Report: a personalised summary of what they have worked on, and what lies ahead to help them continue to improve.
- Technique — their key points of contact when serving, returning, playing from the baseline and at the net, as well as the reflexes they are still developing during rallies.
- Mental — how they react in the moments that decide a point or a match.
- Physical — their results in physical tests, compared against age-appropriate benchmarks.
- Priorities for the future — what has been learnt this week and the areas to focus on first.
Week after week, the Game Report allows you to track your child’s progress over time. It also comes with a version designed to be shared on social media.
Everywhere else, you leave with a score. Here, you leave knowing exactly what sort of player you are.

Options at the Tennis & French Camp
-
One-to-One – Individual coaching (3 hours or 5 hours)
One hour of one-to-one coaching with an Academy coach, in addition to the group sessions. This can be booked as a 3-hour or 5-hour package, to be arranged at your convenience throughout the week, to work specifically on the areas identified during group training sessions.
-
Mental Boost – 3 sessions
Three key steps to strengthen both the mind and the game: first, identify the player’s profile; second, observe them in a real-life situation; and finally, review together what needs to be taken away from the experience. Analysis and debriefing sessions can be slotted into the gaps between physical training sessions.

Recovery – Baths, pressotherapy, massage
Cold baths, pressotherapy, massage: the Academy’s sports medicine centre steps in between training days to help the body recover. A health questionnaire must be completed beforehand to rule out any contraindications.

The Academy: an environment designed to help you progress
Sophia-Antipolis, between Nice and Cannes: spread over 13 hectares, the Mouratoglou Academy brings together everything required for top-level tennis. Thirty-three courts, including eight indoor courts for training sheltered from the elements. A sports medicine centre to look after the body after exercise. Fitness rooms and swimming pools, so that physical preparation can continue even whilst relaxing.
It is against this backdrop that the Tennis & French Camp takes place, on a campus where young people from all over the world come together every week — and sometimes professional players such as Holger Rune or Coco Gauff, who come here to train. For a week, participants take to the same courts, in an environment that combines high sporting standards with an international outlook.
