Coach Spotlight
Jimmy Arias - Director
Arias was one of the original tennis students at IMG Academy, then the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, when it opened in 1978. He turned pro at age 16, and within three years, reached the U.S. Open singles semifinals, won the 1981 French Open mixed doubles and claimed four professional singles titles.
What Our Campers Say
I had an amazing experience at IMG that no tennis camp will ever match. I love the diversity of this camp. It makes you want to wake up early every morning and see yourself constantly improving.
IMG Academy opened my eyes to the international world of tennis. I made friends from around the globe and had fun improving my tennis game!
It is not easy to exceed expectations in times of the internet, when we have already studied everything we are going to find, but even then IMG Academy has succeeded. It was an incredible few days, with wonderful people, both with regard to the sympathy and welcome, but also with regard to competence and dedication to the purpose of the training. We were very, very happy to have chosen IMG and we are already planning our return, but for at least a whole week next year.
