How much are the Full Time Tennis Academies?

barringer97 · 07-13-2012, 06:50 AM

Let's say Bollettieri's IMG academy (or the other big ones) for a full time High School student?

Why don't you look on their websites for their prices?

barringer97 · 07-13-2012, 07:15 AM

I looked on IMG's and I didn't see it. The places that I searched said "contact us." This is probably the best place to ask, I'm guessing people here would have a rough estimate.

Their 3 week summer camps are $5k though...

For that money you can hire Robert Lansdorp or Elliott Teltscher

I'd figure on $60K per year.

What? It's nothing, let's add it up. Most parents don't have $50,000 just lying around so you'd have to go on the payment plan. Since the kid is young he'll be boarded.

Boarding pymt plan: $54,870
Additional fees (total): $4020
High school tuition: $18,735
No upgraded housing for the little b*stard: $0
Tuition insurance, sport: $2607
Tuition insurance, school: $454

BOTTOM LINE: $80,686 / year

No problem! If he wants his own bedroom you're looking at $100,000 though.

What about a result for that money? Does an academy develop a player's development plan with goals for 3,6, 12 months and take responsibility for whole training process?

If the goals are not achieved, will an academy pay money back?

barringer97 · 07-13-2012, 08:27 AM

$68,640.

Yikes.

Agree. Not my price range either. You' ve gotta understand they also attract Sheiks', billionaires', tennis federation's kids, etc from around the world who can afford the tuition.

barringer97 · 07-13-2012, 08:43 AM

I guess it's similar to the big boarding schools though (Deerfield, Berwick Academy, Phillips Andover, Phillips Exeter Academy,etc.)

Epictennis · 07-13-2012, 08:46 AM

Hahahahah.. I remember when I wanted to do that academy.. 5 minutes ago. ( ._.)

I'm out of the loop, what do you hear are the better camps?

10ismom · 07-13-2012, 08:53 AM

Depending on the kid's goal. For my children, I'd rather save that kind of money for the top colleges they'll go.

barringer97 · 07-13-2012, 09:35 AM

^Yeah, the money thing doesn't "pencil out" when you spend $70k to get a full ride that saves you $50k.

10ismom · 07-13-2012, 11:14 AM

^^^We like Evert a lot. An acquaintance once told me she liked Bollettieri for her daughter. The old thread below, you will find several people recommended Nick Saviano, Solomon, Rick Macci, and many others.
I also saw an ad on Tennis Channel that Sanchez-Casal academy is now in Naples.

Hope this is helpful.
Chalk might have more insight about academies in FL.

Thank you!

If you want a great deal and you're looking for fun, lots of good hits, check out Bill Clark Tennis Academy. He has a summer program and always has a lot of kids. He's sent tons of players on to college. He's in Cooper City about 30 minutes South of Evert.

My daughter "dropped in" for a couple of group
lessons when we were in town for Spring Break. The people
running it were nice and so were the kids. I was disappointed the
"drop in" classes are not available this week because of their summer camp. I did observe a coach at Everts that I will try to get my daughter a lesson with on the next trip. Not impressed with Rick Macci's group
lessons. Not much feedback and afternoon sessions are
just point play and not much feedback.
