All the programs I offer in the United States take place at a high-performance academy in Houston, Texas, with which I have maintained an excellent relationship for years. It is an ideal environment to train, study, and live a complete sporting experience.
Below is a summary of the available options:
1. Summer Camp
Intensive training during the summer months, combining technique, physical conditioning, tactics, and mental preparation. Perfect for players of any age looking to improve quickly while enjoying an international experience.
What is included? During your stay, you will be fully immersed in campus life. You will have access to all the resources you need at any time. We offer shared housing: boys stay together in one house and girls in another, ensuring both comfort and a sense of community. All players receive full room and board throughout the camp.
Camp Highlights:
On-Campus Housing: Secure, shared accommodation for all players.
Full Resource Access: Everything you need for training and daily life is available at all times.

2. Annual Program (Programa Anual)
A comprehensive 10 to 12-month program, perfect for players seeking total immersion in high-level tennis while continuing their studies. It includes daily training, competition travel, and individualized coaching.
Academic Program:
On-Site Academic Preparation: We offer a flexible, hybrid educational program for students from 6th to 12th grade, featuring a curriculum based on the American education system.
Learning Model: The core academic program is delivered online through a partnership with AESA Prep Academy. This online education is supplemented by in-person support and facilitation at the Giammalva facilities, where students are monitored and guided by on-site teachers. This hybrid model allows students to balance their studies with their passion for sports.
Individualized Attention: To ensure personalized support, the center maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 10:1.
