Here's what others have had to say about IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy.
"It's a great camp, best courts and wonderful coaches!
You can really improve your strokes, and of course, your game. You want to stay for ever!!! Not a cheap place, but it's worthy."—R.R., Int., April 2012
"It's a tennis boot camp. If you want to go someplace to focus on improving your tennis game, this is the place to go. I've been there 4 times and have plans to go back. This is not a resort vacation destination. It's a tennis destination where you immerse yourself into tennis."—R.B., Adv., April 2012
""—T.S., Adv., April 2012
"IMG is a very structured and well run program that is a unique experience for the amatuer athelite. If you want to whip both your self and tennis game to peak performance,this is the place to come. It is not a resort in the traditional sense, rather it is a destination for people who truly want to focus on athletics. That said, players of all talent levels can have a great experience at IMG"—J.V., Adv., April 2012
"Went for a 3 hour clinic. It was adequate but very expensive. Probably would not go back."—A.A., Adv., March 2012
"Weakness:As a longtime advanced player, i went there to fulfill a lifetime dream. Felt uttelry betrayed and miserable throughout my stay. The adult programs mixes players from 25- to 75-yr old male and female with no regard for individual tennis standards. If like me you are competitive, dont go. You will not get any gameplay nor focus on precise aspects of your game. Will all be diluted as beginner level baseline stroke group drills. I had prepaid and asked for a refund half way through. My request was turned down.
Strength: magnificent campus setting, the junior program, the permanent display of future champions at work close to you"—G.H., Adv., March 2012
"My experience here was a positive one---the facilities are top notch and the coaching was excellent. I will definitely return."—L.B., Low Int., August 2011
"I had an absolute blast at my week at tennis camp. The instructors were awesome, the players were challenging, the pace of the lessons was great, the lunch was phenomenal. I would have loved to stay a few weeks instead of just one but will definitely come back again and highly recommend it to any tennis player. You will leave more fit than you were when you arrived no matter how often you play or how fit you are. I also made a few friends during my stay which only made the experience better. "—G.G., Adv., November 2010
""—M.B., Adv. Int., September 2010
"Bollettieri has first-rate instruction for the serious adult tennis player seeking to improve his/her game. I have stayed there three times so clearly I felt it was worth the time and money. The greatest weakness of IMG (as well as the other adult camps I have attended) is the absence of strategy and shot selection instruction. Too much technique and not enough mental work. Even if the powers that be don't believe there is time for this type of instruction, they can offer it where rain forces everyone off the courts."—R.W., Adv. Int., September 2010
"The good: friendly staff and personnal in general. The teachers are all good players. Food was outstanding.
the bad: Way too expensive for what it offers. I could have hit forehands and backhands at home and it would not have costed me 200$ for...3 hours of play. During my three hours I spend 40 minutes stretching, 25 minutes of talking, 1h30 hitting forehand and backhand with 8 other people and finally played a double match with the pro. I think that the coaches are all well qualified but that the program is flawed in its essence. No emphasis at all on video or very little on technique. I got a much better experience in other camps for a quarter of the price I paid at Bollitieri.
It seems that some people are capitalising on the schools reputation. The owners drive fancy cars, just wish they put more money back into tennis instead of showing off. To be frank, I felt completely rip off by my short stay there. NOT recommended. Go to new england tennis holidays instead and save some cash or get your instruction from 'fuzzyyellowball.com' which is a free educational website."—D.J., Adv., March 2010
"STRENGTHS: great tennis,great workout,wonderful instructors WEAKNESS:the hottub was not "hot""—K.W., Adv. Int., January 2010
