★★★★★Christine TurnerMy son attended for several years and I have recommended the academy to many tennis players who have had great experiences.
★★★★★Philip NemecI have recommended numerous of my own students to Smith/Stearns over the years. They have a great staff and environment for junior development.
★★★★★Derek SmithBoth of my children have spent time here and the improvement has been immediate. The staff, all around, knows what they’re doing, understands their craft, and how to get the most out of the kids in the most respectful manner. Couldn’t be happier with their response and the results. Smith Stearns above the rest.
★★★★★Brian DGreat academy. My daughter and her friend attended the academy for a week and both had a great experience. The coaches were all excellent and they learned a lot during the week while also having a great time. The entire staff, coaches and students were all very friendly and made them feel at home during their stay. We definitely plan on going back as the experience was better than we could have hoped for. I highly recommend Smith Stearns to anyone looking to improve their game while having a good time doing it.
★★Stef SmithSmith Stearns really let us down this year, it was not the experience I was hoping for. My child attended multiple clinics while on vacation in Hilton Head and it was a joke. For $100 a clinic we were expecting serious play the entire 2 hours. Instead, the first 20 minutes were spend walking over to the hard courts and they let them go 15 minutes early so the coaches could get back to the main courts for their private lessons. There was SO much talking and goofing off between the coaches and clinic kids, as well as many long unproductive drink breaks. The competition was good, however it wasn’t worth the 1 hour of actual practice they did. Will be taking our business to Van Der Meer in the future.
