About Atlas Tennis: Unparalleled Travel & Tennis Camps
Positively changing lives through the gifts of tennis, travel, and people.Our Story
Tennis, travel, and human connection—these are the foundation of Atlas Tennis. Well before we started Atlas, we knew there was so much potential in bringing these things together, and that belief is what drives us to grow and create one-of-a-kind tennis camps and experiences.
We’ve all been deeply involved in tennis for most of our lives, and have individually grown as people because of it and the travel that often comes along with it. While all of our paths are unique, they are also similar in that we have been incredibly lucky to have tennis, travel, and human connection shape us. Somewhere along the way, we all realized that we wanted to share and pass along these meaningful life experiences with as many people as possible. This desire is at the heart of what we do, and why we decided to start Atlas Tennis in the first place.
That desire to share our experience and the power of tennis, travel, and human connection was only step one. What shaped this loose idea into a full-fledged company was a problem we recognized. We knew we weren’t breaking new ground by preaching the benefits of tennis, travel, or human connection. But the barrier to entry to those experiences was too high. The travel logistics, the tennis logistics (particularly in other countries), finding a group of like-minded people—all of it prevented people from actually getting out and experiencing the possibilities.
We knew we had the knowledge, connections, and passion to take on the challenge of creating these trips and make travel and tennis camp experiences accessible to more people. We’re driven by the opportunity to positively change lives through our trips. We want to help people become the best tennis players they can be, expose them to new places, people, and cultures, and help them build relationships that can turn into lifelong friendships. Above all, we want to take people on our trips, give them the experience of a lifetime, and return them home having grown, on and off the court.
