Welcome to the Academy !

In the early 1980’s, as tennis became a fully professional sport, Pat Cash was developing the skills which would take him to a Wimbledon crown and five Grand Slam finals, two Davis Cup victories and a ranking of number four in the world.

Almost twenty years later, Pat has created a unique training and coaching academy combining the sport sciences with the discipline of hard work. The programs at The Pat Cash International Tennis Academy have been developed from Pat’s many years of learning during his playing career, his analytical approach to television commentary and, most recently, the application of his knowledge in coaching on the professional tour.

The Pat Cash International Tennis Academy has been established at the internationally renowned, Hope Island Resort, on the exciting Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. A 40 minute drive from Brisbane International airport, and a 15 minute drive to the Gold Coast’s famous beaches, the resort is situated on 360 hectares of some of Australia’s most beautiful, waterfront surroundings. The magnificent setting is at a level commensurate with Pat's vision as a leader in tennis training today and into the future.

The Academy’s facilities include :

  • 16 tennis courts - 5 rebound ace & 8 hard (2 red clay & 1 synthetic grass to complete in 2008)
  • Fitness Studio (free weights, pin loaded & Fit Balls)
  • Exercise Studio for yoga & Pilates classes
  • Basketball court and beach volleyball pit (for cross training)
  • Sprint Track
  • Pro Shop and Café


ACADEMY DEVELOPMENT PLANS

For the past several years, the Academy has been leasing the land on which it stands from former Resort owners Walker Corporation. Under the terms of the lease, Walker Corporation restricted the Academy from pursuing its potential development plans. In late 2006, Mirvac Group purchased Hope Island Resort from Walker Corporation. Mirvac subsequently sold on the Academy site to the Academy, finally enabling it to pursue its vision to become the premier tennis training facility in Australasia. With Mirvac supporting the Academy's desire to expand, revised plans are currently being drawn up for Resort approval. With a bit of luck, work should begin mid 2008.

Keep a watch on this page for regular updates.

Revised plans include the following facilities :

  • Junior player on-site accommodation
  • New administration offices
  • Full Service Cafe
  • Expansive indoor/outdoor seating & viewing
  • Up to 5 of the existing courts to be covered
  • Coach/parent conference rooms
  • On-site school classrooms
  • Expansive player entertainment lounge
  • Video analysis studio linked to 6 courts
  • Modern shower/changing facilities
  • Tournament office
  • Psychologist office
  • Massage & Physio treatment room
  • Swimming pool 
  • Squash Court 
  • HIR Tennis Club lounge
  • HIR Teen Club

The existing Fitness Studio will be doubled in size and receive an upgrade of a number of additional pieces of unique training equipment.
