Adult Clinics & Camps

The Academy’s Adult Camps are great for serious to recreational players looking to improve their game and experience the Hope Island lifestyle. Led by our Adult Program Director, Mark Cook, the camps include warm-up, match simulation drills, singles and doubles strategies, technical training, competitive games, and match play. Adult students are grouped by skill level and sessions are customized daily to coordinate with student needs.

The program also includes an optional private lesson component to work on the finer technical points of the game and a fitness component for those who think they need a little bit of extra hard work.

A range of accommodation options, on or off resort, are available.

LOCAL ADULT CLINICS

The popularity of local adult tennis programs at the Pat Cash International Tennis Academy has skyrocketed recently, thanks to a $2000 cash grant from Tennis Australia. In an effort to attract adults who had not played the game before, or who had not played for many years, the grant money was used for an extensive advertising program. And what a success it was!

The first 20 people to sign up were offered a new, free tennis racquet and 10 hours of coaching spread over five Sundays, for the unbelievable price of $50 – or just $10 per week. From the time the advertising material went out the phone started to ring, with the first day’s coaching kicking off with an oversubscription of double the available places.

The final result was 20 very enthusiastic players hitting the court each Sunday and two other smaller groups playing on Saturday morning and Monday nights. Under the direction of the Academy’s Adult Coaching Director, Mark Cook, all those involved in the program have been receiving basic instruction, with the eventual aim of creating a new Hope Island social tennis groups and fixture teams.

Current programs on offer include Ladies Clinics, Mixed Evening Clinics and Men’s Jam Sessions and are available at the times listed below. New players are always welcome, so if you or your friends would like to join in the fun, just contact the Academy for further details – we’d love to see you on the courts.
