Become the player no one wants to face
The “Tournament Camp” is the Mouratoglou Academy’s competition program, offered exclusively during the summer to young players ages 9 to 17, regardless of their skill level.
For two weeks, players enjoy a fully immersive program combining training and competition, with on-campus housing, full board, an on-site tournament, and coaching included throughout the stay.
Two weeks to refine your game, soak up the competitive spirit, and go all the way—right up to the match that really counts.
Training follows the Mouratoglou methodology: technique, physical conditioning, tactics, and mental preparation. Competition puts this work to the test. You’ll put your strengths to use against an opponent, discover what holds up under pressure, and identify areas that still need improvement.
That’s when tennis reveals the truth. Your game must hold up when the score is close. Live at the pace of training and competition.

Match Report: What the Game Revealed
Two weeks of training, an UTR tournament, and, as a result, a clear answer to the only question that matters: What can your child count on when the score is close? The tournament camp includes a match report: a personalized evaluation, addressed to your child, that connects what was worked on on the court with what worked—or didn’t work—during the match.
- Tennis Profile: serve and return, footwork, baseline play, net play, and coming to the net—the skills that made the difference during the match and the areas for improvement.
- Mental Profile—his attitude toward his opponent, how he handles key points and moments of pressure: what you need to know to develop a competitive mindset.
- Physical Analysis—his results on fitness tests, compared to the average and top performances for his age group: the athletic qualities that allow him to go the distance.
- Assessment and Priorities — his strengths , the challenges he’s faced in competition, and his roadmap to guide his training and prepare for the rest of the season.
At each successive tournament stage, the match report serves as a guide to track his progress: what has improved since last year and what still needs work. And since a season is a story to be told, each report is presented in a format ready to be shared on social media.
The UTR Tournament: Where Tennis Reveals the Truth
Each player participates in an UTR tournament held on-site at the academy, officiated by a certified referee and featuring a guaranteed minimum of three matches. This is a unique opportunity to put into practice what has been learned on the courts and to assess one’s progress against opponents of international caliber.
Between training sessions and match experience, the tournament camp replicates the conditions of the professional tour: stress management, reading the game, tactics, and a competitive mindset—everything that distinguishes a good player from a true competitor.
Under the guidance of the academy’s coaches, your child receives support before, during, and after each match, turning every match into an opportunity for growth.

One-to-one coaching (face-to-face) 3 hours / 5 hours
Two weeks, a tournament, matches to prepare for: the ‘One to One’ programme offers your child one-to-one sessions with an academy coach, in blocks of 3 or 5 hours, to work on a weakness identified during a match or to refine a strength ahead of the next fixture.
-
Mental Boost
In competition, it’s often all in the mind. Three sessions with a mental coach from the academy — an initial assessment, observation during training sessions and matches, followed by a debrief — to help your child manage the pressure, keep a cool head in tense moments and turn their tennis into victories.
-
Recovery (baths, pressotherapy, massages)
Two weeks of training and matches: we manage them just like the pros do – with recovery baths, pressotherapy and massages at the academy’s sports medicine centre – to ensure your child stays in peak physical condition, from the very first day right through to the final match. A health questionnaire must be completed before treatment begins.
-
Emergency kit
The mid-training camp programme: two pressotherapy sessions and two recovery baths, scheduled at appropriate times over the two weeks to relieve accumulated fatigue and ensure the players go into the tournament in peak condition.
-
Sophrology and relaxation
Before a match, knowing how to relax is a real asset. These breathing, relaxation and visualisation sessions teach your child how to relieve pressure and regain energy and concentration between competition days.
-
Nutrition
Two weeks of intense training call for an appropriate energy intake. The academy’s dietitian and nutritionist will assess your child’s body composition, diet and fluid intake, and will give them practical advice on what to eat, when to eat it, and how to stay properly hydrated on match days.
-
Physical Check-up + Massage
A comprehensive assessment of the athlete: body composition analysis, physical tests, a personalised report and a bespoke training programme to turn this two-week training camp into an annual development plan — all topped off with a 30-minute massage.

Pack of 4 baths
Four recovery baths spread over the two weeks: a simple and effective programme to cope with the training workload, minimise muscle soreness and remain competitive right up to the final matches.

UTR Event (Saturday and Sunday)

Language courses (FR/EN)
The competition is international, as is the language. French or English lessons for 10–17-year-olds, alongside the main programme: on this campus, where players from all over the world train, sport naturally continues outside of lessons.

Full board
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the academy canteen, at the heart of the campus: balanced meals, tailored to the timetable of a young elite athlete, enjoyed alongside the other players taking part in the training camp.
