John McEnroe Tennis Academy: Junior Tennis Academy in New York

New York, United States — with academy locations in New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and the Hamptons.

Launched in 2010 by tennis legend John McEnroe in partnership with SPORTIME Clubs.

JMTA training is offered across five SPORTIME locations, providing access to a large junior development network in the New York metropolitan area.

The five JMTA locations provide a combined 96 tennis courts across different surfaces for year-round and seasonal training.

Junior players of different ages and levels, from early-stage development to nationally and internationally competitive juniors.

JMTA is designed to support high-level tennis development while allowing players to live at home, attend school, and pursue their academic goals.

Players develop the technical foundations needed to execute effectively in match situations, with coaching adapted to their age, level, and stage of development.

JMTA emphasizes learning how to play the game through patterns of play, decision-making, point construction, and an understanding of each player’s strengths and weaknesses.

Players are encouraged to think, take appropriate risks, solve problems, and discover solutions rather than relying exclusively on prescriptive instruction.

On-court training is complemented by strength, agility, movement, functional training, injury-prevention work, and guidance on nutrition and hydration.

JMTA works to develop confidence, commitment, concentration, emotional control, and mental toughness to help players manage the demands of competitive tennis.

Designed for younger players, the first stages of the JMTA pathway use age-appropriate courts and balls to develop technical foundations, movement, tactical awareness, and a love of competition.

Green Ball players transition to the full-sized court while developing stronger technical foundations, patterns of play, competitive skills, and the physical abilities required for more advanced tennis.

The final stage of the JMTA junior pathway focuses on full-court competitive tennis, helping players refine patterns of play, understand their individual strengths and weaknesses, and progress toward higher levels of competition.

JMTA offers summer training camps for junior players, with instruction, drills, athletic training, and match play organized according to age and competitive level.
