Tennis Program

The Anguillan Tennis Academy's International Program

The Anguilla Tennis Academy is a nonprofit grassroots program dedicated to providing the highest quality tennis instruction to Anguillian, Caribbean and international youth.

The ATA is committed to developing healthy minds and providing educational opportunities for children through the sport of tennis. The academy was founded on the principle of using tennis as a vehicle to reach and empower children and to equip them with the skills and knowledge to become responsible citizens of their community.

At CuisinArt Resort & Spa, the Tennis Director is hand-picked by the president of the ATA, Mitchelle Lake. The ATA believes in teaching individuals, not systems. Therefore you can select from a variety of options to meet your particular tennis needs.

Options Free beginner clinics are offered every Tuesday for people who want to work on the basics, or even those who have never picked up a racquet before!

The Tennis Mixer every Wednesday evening is also free and a great way to meet people and just have fun. Drill Workouts on Wednesdays are available for anyone who wants to hit lots of balls and get lots of exercise!

For more advanced players, an Intermediate/Advanced Clinic provides tennis tactics and strategies every Friday.
