The Bucket List Trip

We recommend at least some competitive experience at a minimum, whether that be in tournaments or school tennis. We organize our training and tournaments based on level, so players with a wide range of playing backgrounds get competitive experience. In the past, we've had players with UTRs ranging from 10 to 2 have incredible experiences on this trip, so most players will be a fit. More important than your level coming in is your mentality—the players who have the best experience are those who are ready to work hard each day, step out of their comfort zone, and be open minded in the pursuit of improvement.  If you are unsure whether your level is the right fit, reach out to Ben directly to talk it through.

The price covers all accommodations, transportation within Europe, court and tournament fees, coaching, breakfasts and dinners (except on select travel days), sightseeing, and 24/7 staff supervision.

Not included: flights to and from Europe, daily lunch, souvenirs, passport and visa fees, laundry, and any optional extras outside the planned itinerary.

The trip departs from and returns to New York, with Atlas coaches on board. Players also have the option to meet us directly in Europe. We handle and book all transportation once in Europe — flights, vans, and trains. Exact flight details are shared with families well ahead of departure.

We stay at safe, clean, comfortable hotels, selected based on past experiences and their location in relation to the tournaments and our planned off-court activities. Usually, we are 2 or 3 per room, and players always have their own bed and only room with teammates of the same gender.

Breakfast and dinner are included daily. Breakfast is typically at the hotel, and for dinner we'll usually either have team meals at restaurants or break off into smaller groups with our coaches.  We are happy to accommodate allergies and dietary needs — just flag them on your application.

Yes! Our day at Wimbledon is the foundation of the trip. We spend a full day at Wimbledon watching early-round matches on courts across the grounds. Past groups have met and talked with pros like Marcos Giron and Cam Norrie. While nothing is guaranteed, our connections in the pro tennis world make these moments a real possibility.

It varies by week. During tournament stretches in Barcelona and Leiden, days center around matches and practice at the local club. In London, we mix grass court practice with sightseeing at spots like Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace.

Every stop also builds in time to explore — historic London, the  canals in Amsterdam, a tour of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and the beaches along Costa Brava.

Players can use their phones to stay in touch with family — most US carriers work easily overseas, and WiFi is available at clubs, accommodations, and most places we visit. Our coaches and directors are always reachable if a question or concern comes up. The only time we ask players not to use their phones are when we are on court, walking somewhere, or during meals.

Safety is our top priority on every leg of the trip. We only travel to well-established, safe destinations, staff every trip with at least one male and one female coach who are present 24/7, and stay in close contact with trusted local hosts at each stop.

If a player gets sick or hurt, we never hesitate to seek our the appropriate medical care wherever we are, whether that means getting to a hospital, doctor's office, or pharmacy.

If you are ready to apply, please submit our Player Application. From there, we'll review everything, speak with the player references, and then follow up with next steps (usually within a few days) to lock in the spot with a deposit.
