Can you join a tennis camp if you have never played?
Yes. The Mouratoglou Academy’s adult camps have no minimum level. What shapes your experience is not the camp you choose but the group you play in: it brings together adults of a similar level, so everyone progresses at their own pace.
When you book, three questions place your level: the year you started (or restarted), how many hours a week you play and how many matches a year. For a beginner the answers are simple, and they are enough to put you in the right group before you arrive.
On day one, an on-court assessment lets the technical managers confirm or adjust the groups. You will not find yourself facing much stronger players: the aim is a consistent level, with up to 4 players per court and per coach.
What to expect from five days
A camp will not turn a beginner into a tournament player in five days, and nobody will promise you that. What a supervised week in a small group does is lay solid foundations: a correct grip, better footwork, longer rallies and clear reference points for what comes next.
The Mouratoglou methodology starts from your actual level: coaches identify what already works in your game, the details holding you back and the areas to develop. Physical training complements the on-court work to improve your movement, positioning and ability to sustain a rally.
At the end of the camp, your Game Report brings together your coaches’ observations, your strengths and your priorities: a clear thread to follow at your club or on a second week with us.
Equipment and practical details
- Racquet: we recommend bringing your own; if not, the Mouratoglou Pro Shop on campus sells racquets and strings them on site.
- Shoes: the programme adapts to the weather and is played on clay or hard courts (33 courts, 8 of them indoor); bring all-court shoes.
- Getting there: the campus is in Biot, 15 km from Nice airport; free parking is available on site.
- Languages: the teams are international, and sessions run in English and French among others.

Make it a stay on the Côte d’Azur
