1. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Academia Sánchez-Casal is a high performance training facility that combines tennis and education for the students, with
the objective of shaping successful young people in diverse aspects of their lives. The Academia Sánchez-Casal has a Unique
Training System established by coaches with a worldwide reputation. Sánchez-Casal has developed elite players such
as Kuznetsova, Murray, Dimitrov, Hantuchova, Ivanovic, Mónaco, Bovina, among others.
The High Performance Tennis + Studies Annual Program offers a complete educational journey for the students who
want to combine intensive tennis training with academic studies. This program includes a daily high performance tennis
training based on the Sánchez-Casal system, which includes technical exercises, court mobility, tactical strategy and
competition, with a specific physical training program and the ES International School which is situated inside the
Sánchez-Casal facilities. In addition, this program also includes mental training, video analysis, and a personalized
competition calendar.
The annual program begins in September and runs until June. It includes 15 hours of tennis training and 5 hours of physical
training per week, 1.5 hours of mental training per month and 1 video analysis per semester. The various areas of the program
are designed and coordinated so that students can benefit the most from all of them. This means that tennis, physical training,
mental training and the school together obtain the maximum benefit for the students. Students can succeed in both academic
studies as well as tennis training, avoiding injuries and overtraining, thus ensuring the best performance possible.
Our daily work at the Academia Sanchez-Casal is guided by our philosophy of “developing successful young people in all aspects

The content of the annual program is divided into the following areas:
TENNIS
Includes 3 hours of tennis training every day (from Monday to Friday), in which the student works in the technical and tactical
aspects of the game as well as court mobility and positioning, based on the Sánchez-Casal system in order to enhance their
tennis and develop a better game from all areas of the court. Each student is assigned a tutor, who is responsible for monitoring
the development of the player. All of the coaches from our technical team have the RPT and USPTA certification.
The training season is divided into preparation, competition and transition periods. These periods, which are also monitored in
the physical training, ensure a perfect balance between training and competition according to each student’s age and level.
PHYSICAL TRAINING
Includes 1 hour of physical training every day (from Monday to Saturday), in which all the physical aspects, such as resistance,
strength, speed, agility, coordination and flexibility are worked on, in accordance with proper planning for the student, based
on the Sánchez-Casal system, which emphasizes movement and court positioning. Every student will have a physical trainer
tutor who is responsible for monitoring the proper development of the player in his/her physical aspect, as well as coordinating
with the tutors that the player has assigned in other areas.
The physical training in Sánchez-Casal has a special emphasis on preventing injuries.
COMPETITION CALENDAR
The student will have a personalized competition calendar appropriate to his/her age and level. This calendar will be planned
by the tennis tutor of the student as well as the Tournament Coordinator, and could include both national and international

School, which adapts the school curriculum to the planned tournaments. The tournament registration fees are not included in

only help him/her in tennis but also in his/her everyday life. The mental training is integrated into the Sánchez-Casal training
system.

The tutor will conduct a complete video analysis with the student every semester. The student will be recorded while performing
on court exercises as well as in actual matches, and the tutor, supervised by the Tennis Lab team, will perform a technical and
tactical analysis of the student. Likewise, other video analysis sessions may be performed in order to help the student in a
particular aspect of the game.

11. VISA AND RESIDENCE PERMIT
Our Admissions Department team will provide the invitation letters and other necessary documentation for those students

initial and renovation process of the residence cards for the Academy students.
The students that are citizens of a member state of the European Union need to be registered in the Community Registry and
obtain the identity number for foreigners (NIE). That process is mandatory for students that stay for more than 180 days in Spain.
