Rafa Nadal Academy Launches Summer Tennis Camps in Boston and Greenwich
MALLORCA, SPAIN and NEW YORK, NY -- (March 26, 2021) – The Rafa Nadal Academy (RNA), today announced it reached an agreement with the Athena group to expand its developmental tennis program in the United States by offering tennis camps in two key markets. Athena has partnered with the leader in tennis programming to bring the Rafa Nadal Academy methodology to both junior players and adults at the state-of the-art facilities of the Roxbury Latin School, Boston (June 14 – 19) and the Convent of The Sacred Heart, Greenwich (June 21 – July 3).
The camps will be led by official Rafa Nadal Academy coaches and offer exclusive tennis coaching to boys and girls ages 8 to 18 using the same methodology and training that is used at the Academy in Mallorca, Spain. Adults will also have an opportunity to receive coaching in small groups. With the popularity of tennis on the rise the timing could not be better.
"We are delighted to partner with Athena to expand our camp presence in the US and to bring our methodology to local players. Building upon the success of our academy in Spain this will be a great way for American players to get a taste of our training methodology and values and support the growth of tennis" said Toni Nadal, Tennis Director of the Rafa Nadal Academy.
"The Rafa Nadal Academy represents the perfect tennis camp partner. Not only will players improve tennis skills but they will benefit from unique off court training and methodology that is not available anywhere else," said Marta Ramos, President of Athena. "We are honored to partner with the Rafa Nadal Academy and initiate this exciting development for the sport of tennis in the US.”
Space on this summer’s camps is limited and available on a first come first served basis. For more information please visit:
