Tennis Academy

The vision of the BISP RPT Tennis Academy is to produce outstanding young tennis players from within the school through a coordinated curriculum in and out of hours, with access to world-class coaching and teaching under professional coach, Lee Austrin.

The Tennis Academy has six courts - 3 covered and 3 uncovered and follows the Spanish methodology of coaching, arguably the most successful system in the world.

Top players are entered into tournaments and receive Thai ranking points to ensure national recognition. The school attracts top juniors from around the world with its outstanding opportunities to work alongside Registro Professional de Tenis (RPT) qualified coaches.

The very best prospects have the chance to attend top training camps in Spain as part of tennis exchange programmes.

The RPT utilises the school facilities to host training courses for its advanced coaches. This places BISP at the heart of all new innovations and technologies in RPT tennis advancement.

Student access to the tennis courts is a priority, and tennis is taught on the mainstream curriculum as well as for the academy. When the academy players are being coached, the covered tennis courts will not be made available, although the outside courts may be used.

The Tennis Academy is headed up by Briton Lee Austrin, who represented his county, region and country as a junior, playing in many competitions both within the UK and across Europe.

At the age of 20 he moved to Newport Beach in Southern California to compete in the US Money Tour and Futures events. Here he gained world ranking points and regularly competed against players ranked inside the top 300 in the world.

The Tennis Academy is also home to the BISP Tennis Club, a community facility available to parents of students studying at BISP, who want to enjoy competitive and social games.
