California Circuit

The California Circuit Trip is open to all levels. We'll organize our practices and tournament entries based on level, so all players have the chance to be on court with others at their level. Like all of our trips, at least some competitive experience is highly recommended, but the most important thing is not your level, but if you are ready to work hard each day to improve your game through training and competition. In our experience, players with this approach get the most out of the trip.

If you are unsure whether your level is the right fit, reach out to the Atlas Tennis team and talk it through.

The price covers all accommodations, transportation within California, 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 California, daily lunch, souvenirs, 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 California at the airport, ideally on flights that land around the same time as the group. We handle all transportation once in California — flights, vans, and trains. Exact flight details are shared with families well ahead of departure.

In California, we stay at safe, clean, comfortable hotels centrally located to the tennis courts, tournaments and our planned off-court activities. Examples of the types of hotels we stay at are Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, and Hampton Inn & Suites. 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, we will have time to check out, and potentially even play, on iconic campuses like Stanford, UCLA, and USC. If schedules permit, our connections in the college tennis world may allow us meet and chat with college coaches at these programs as well.

It varies by week. During tournament stretches in California, days center around matches and practice at the local courts, with time to connect with the Atlas team and local players.

Every stop also builds in time to explore: California beaches , iconic landmarks, college campuses and tennis facilities, pictureseque piers and mountainous landscapes along with theme parks and professional sporting events.

Players can use their phones to stay in touch with family. 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. 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 out the appropriate medical care at a hospital or doctor's office as necessary.

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.
