Dear ITA,
I wanted to share with you the attached clipping from our town newspaper (click here), The Rockville Centre Herald (NY). It features my daughter April, who attended your academy this past summer. As you can see, she is doing quite well in high school tennis this year (and is now 10-0).
Much of the improvement in her game - from both skill and mental perspectives - can be attributed to the training she received while at ITA. To be sure, April is not on the same tennis trajectory as many ITA attendees. Nevertheless, she is making the most of what she has and what she learned at ITA.
My wife and I could hardly ask for more.
Tennis aside, the time April spent at ITA came with a hidden bonus: she had the opportunity to meet, play and live with many nice girls from the US and abroad. April cherished the friendships formed, and still does. Such a life experience was rewarding in itself.
Thank you. Sincerely,
Tom Kane

To ITA Staff
Thank you very much for the opportunity your school gave my daughter Erika Arguello. Your teaching was outstanding and your school gave her the skills to compete at her level. Your school gave her consistency, and a positive attitude, and her serve got 300% better. During her match when she felt she was doing something wrong she had always Scott, Junior and the rest of the staff in her mind to work things better and accomplish her goal.
Because of Erika (team work), who never lost a match, her school won the First Catholic Championship for the first time, and she won the M.V.P. as well.
Looking to see you all next year. Thank you again.

Kevin & Geraldine got home safely and they improved tremendously in Tennis and English. We want to thank you for your kindness and efficiency.
They are delighted with their stay at ITA and express the strong desire to return next summer.
Please, give our sincere thanks and the children's love to all coaches, driver, house parents and office staff who really took excellent care of them and oversaw their well being and safety. We will "sincerely" recommend ITA to all our friends. What was most important to our children was they were not treated as "numbers". It is important for you to continue giving each and everyone your individual and special attention. Bravo!
...
We will be in Florida for the Christmas Vacation and Kevin and Geraldine would love to come back to ITA if possible. Thank you for everything.
With warm wishes from the Famille Pamart.
Mrs Gabriela Diez (Mexico)
What a wonderful and fantastic time we all had at the academy.
You are special people who help and are always thinking about all the students. Javier and Fernanda enjoyed and learned very important tennis techniques. The training was very complete and the coaches very interested in each player. Javier and Fernanda were with you for 5 weeks and they wanted to stay many more weeks. We hope to return soon again because we can see the level of tennis both kids acquired.
You all made this experience a real pleasure and the kids felt they were part of the tennis team.
(The Diez family is coming back in November)

PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ONTO STAN and the other great coaches who helped Skyler improve this summer.
I was on the tennis courts with Skyler today....and several other coaches came over to me.....to say how beautiful Skyler’s forehand looked!!!!!
It was transformed!!!!!! They wanted to know where he had been!!!!!!! Needless to say I gave you much applause!
Working on the backhand now......etc.....but wanted you to know that the hard work had not gone unnoticed!
Thanks again...will keep you posted.
Please thank Stan......especially!

I come to ITA about 4 times/year because I get individual help the coaches take me as ONE kid, not a whole group.
Monica Yajima (13) CT
Being here for one week was a great experience. Playing with better and stronger players has helped me realize I need to work on different parts of my game. I learned to work better with my peers and that there is still a long way to go to achieve my goals in tennis.
Quan Do (21) Vietnam
First of all I want to thank all the coaches and the staff. They helped me a lot and taught me so much about tennis. I had a great experience at ITA and I will come back next year.
Mr George Lazaris father of Maria
I have spent the last 2 months at ITA. There are many things that impressed me. They treat everyone the same way without preferences for richer or stronger players. My daughter is a good player but like any teenagers, a bit lazy at times. She loves to work out at ITA. She does not want to be late or miss a practice. Thank you. It means a lot to me.
Jesse Wu, Secretary General
We’ve back to Taiwan safe and sound. Thanks for all your help during three weeks’ training in ITA. We had a great memory & experience. In fact I was very impress of your team work, I believe that why your academy be so successful. I’m sure we’ll have chances to cooperate later on. Hope to see you guys soon.
