Why Rising Stars Tour Athletes Choose USPA

Balance your passion for tennis with a world-class education.

Flexibility

Our flexible, online structure allows students to train, travel, and compete without sacrificing their education, empowering them to perform at their best in and out of the classroom.

Personal Support

Learning Coaches offer families peace of mind and students consistent support for their particular needs. Through regular check-ins and mentorship, they help students manage their time, advocate for themselves, and stay aligned with their academic goals.

Athlete-Centric

US Performance Academy is intentionally designed for athletes and performers, aligning academics with training, competition, and performance schedules rather than forcing students to fit into traditional school models.

Rigor

Students receive a high-quality, accredited education with personalized academic support, ensuring they stay on track for graduation and future opportunities while pursuing their sport or craft without compromise.

Early University Credits

An athlete’s time is their most valuable asset. Through our program, students have access to dual-enrollment options with Arizona State University (ASU). This allows them to advance and earn real college credits while attending high school, maximizing their time between training and travel.

NCAA Eligibility

The academic curriculum offered through USPA is rigorously certified to meet all NCAA standards. We protect our athletes’ futures by ensuring their academic profiles are impeccable for international college recruitment.

Testimonials

“USPA has helped me balance school and tennis by giving me a flexible schedule. I can organize my schoolwork around my training and tournaments, allowing me to focus on both without feeling stressed. I would say USPA is a great option for student-athletes. It offers flexibility and helps you stay on track with both school and sport. Staying in regular contact with teachers is also very helpful, as you always receive support when you need it.”

World Teams Cup: An international team competition bringing together players representing clubs, academies and federations.
Training camps and academy experiences: Helping players and groups access training opportunities suited to their needs.
Player development and guidance: Connecting families with coaches, academies and specialist support to help them plan their next steps.
Education and U.S. college pathways: Helping families explore ways to combine competitive tennis with academic development through specialist partners, including US Performance Academy.

Our events take place in destinations including Barcelona, Mallorca, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Antalya and Orlando, with the Rising Stars Masters held at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca.
