Mission
The International Tennis Academy USA is dedicated to providing an innovative and caring Player Development Program that addresses the varied needs of high performance athletes to ensure the optimal development of each individual as an athlete, student and responsible member of society.
Principles and Values
We are committed to hiring full-time coaches that are experienced, knowledgeable, caring, team-oriented and have a passion to work with children.
We are committed to providing an individualized training environment to enable our coaching staff to fully develop each player's potential in all areas of player development - tactical, technical, menal, physical, nutritional, social, and academic.
We are committed to enrolling players that show exceptional attitude, strong work ethics, group compatibility, and are dedicated to reaching their potential.
We are committed to creating a working environment that fosters personal and professional development through open communication freedom of expression, challenge, accountability, and teamwork.
We are committed to coaching longevity through profit sharing program which allows coaches to make a career out of teaching tennis.
 Since 1996, International Tennis Academy USA, located in beautiful Delray Beach, Florida set out to establish the best well-rounded, innovative and caring Player Development program in the world, addressing the needs of high performance tennis players (junior, college or professional) from every corner of the globe.
Owned and operated by the coaches themselves, ITA is one of the only employee owned academies in the world. We have assembled a group of highly experienced, and caring individuals that have worked with and trained many top players on the ATP, WTA, ITF, NCAA and USTA curcuits.
Our coaching methodology focuses on developing the player as a “whole". Following the Principles and Values listed above we use a systematic player development coaching system, which allows us to evaluate, recommend, and put into action specific training plans that meet the individual needs of our athletes.
The “cornerstone” of ITA is our Full-Time Academy programming . Prospective students can choose from any of our program options. Each program offers a slightly different training schedule to give flexibility to students individual needs.
Admitting a select number of boarding and non-boarding players per school year, we limit our enrollment to ensure personalized attention, quality of training, and the necessity of caring for each individual’s developmental needs. To that extent, each Full-Time student is assigned to a personal coach that will meet and work with the student to develop a training plan (practice content and schedule), a competitive plan (tournament schedule), and an action plan (short, mid, and long term goals) for the player during their stay at ITA.
Given that ITA is also a college preparatory program, we have put together some extensive and comprehensive college placement services. In the past nine years, ITA has generated well over two million dollars in athletic scholarships for placing our players in some of the most prestigious colleges in the U.S. such as Duke, Harvard, Pepperdine, University of Pennsylvania, Georgia Tech, Boston College and several others. (see our Alumni)
ITA offers several other training program options throughout the year such as our Year-Round Intensive Camps, our popular Summer Camps, our various Holiday Camps, and our Tennis/Language camps.
And finally, several National teams programs have choosen to train at ITA, they include the French Tennis Federation’s National Junior Team, the German Tennis Federation National Team, Tennis Canada’s National Junior Teams, and most recently, the Chinese Ministry of Sports selected ITA to train six of their Olympic hopefuls for the Olympic Games in Beijing.
So whether you want to earn a college scholarship, play professionally, or simply want to improve your game, our coaching staff will invest their time and effort to ensure that you achieve your goals.
If you are serious, dedicated and committed to becoming the best player you can be…you will feel right at home at ITA, where you will meet other junior tennis players and professionals like yourself.
So the question is, are you ready to get started?
