COACHLIFE TENNIS ACADEMY
Fort Lauderdale Flagship
A New Era in Player Development Has Begun
A NEW ERA IN PLAYER DEVELOPMENT HAS BEGUN
The CoachLife Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is our first flagship location — and the model for how we believe junior development should be done.
Unlike traditional tennis academies that operate as “player factories,” our approach is rooted in expert coaching, individualized development plans, daily structure, supervised study time, fitness led by physical therapists — and the greatest coaching minds in the sport.
Fort Lauderdale is just the beginning. New locations will open in 2026, each powered by the full CoachLife Coaching Network — with rotating specialist coaches throughout the year.
CoachLife is the world’s leading junior-development platform — a video instructional system built with the junior coaches of Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Ash Barty, Naomi Osaka, Jessie Pegula and many more. Created over two years by former pro Peter Clarke, it is the most complete tennis development blueprint ever built.
WORLD-CLASS COACHING TEAM
We have assembled one of the strongest coaching teams in the world — combining development coaches, movement experts, physical therapists, match analysts and mental coaches into one integrated system.
WORLD-CLASS TRAINING FOR EVERY LEVEL OF JUNIOR TENNIS
FULL TIME ACADEMY
The Full-Time Elite Academy is the core of CoachLife — a high-performance environment built for serious tournament players who want a complete development system.
Players train five hours per day (4 hours tennis + 1 hour fitness), receive individualized development plans, full technical oversight from Diego Moyano, match and video analysis from Jason Frausto, footwork training with Dave Bailey, and supervised study time between sessions.
This is the same structure used by the world's best juniors — now available in Fort Lauderdale as a full-time, year-round program.
AFTER-SCHOOL ELITE PROGRAM
The After-School Elite Program is a high-level training environment designed for committed tournament players who need world-class coaching but cannot train full-time during the day.
Players work directly inside the CoachLife development system — the same framework created by Diego Moyano, Carlos Drada, Dave Bailey, Dr. Niko Tejada, and Jason Frausto.
Training includes:
- High-intensity drilling + live ball
- Footwork and movement patterns used by top ATP/WTA players
- Tactical decision-making development
- Age-appropriate tennis-specific fitness
- Technical adjustments rooted in the CoachLife blueprint
This is the strongest after-school training option in South Florida — built for players who want real improvement, not just "after-school hitting."
AFTER-SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Most after-school tennis programs for beginners follow the same pattern: large groups, generic drills, and kids who go week after week without truly improving.
CoachLife is different.
Our After-School Development Program uses the CoachLife Blueprint — a system created from the combined expertise of the world's best junior coaches. The same principles that shaped players like Alcaraz, Tiafoe, Fritz, Gauff, Paul, and countless top juniors are adapted into age-appropriate training for new players.
In this program, kids learn:
- Proper fundamentals from day one
- Real footwork patterns (not running in circles)
- Technique that scales with them as they grow
- Athletic coordination, balance, and confidence
- A fun environment built around real development
This is the ideal start for younger players or kids new to tennis — a place where they build correct technique early, develop a love for the sport, and progress faster than in traditional recreational programs.
