​​What Makes This Experience So Special?​​​​​
​
1. Elite RNA Coaching Staff-Direct from the Academy​
-
RNA does not use local staff for our core instruction. For this event, a team of 17 Spanish coaches—all trained in the prestigious Rafa Nadal Academy methodology—fly in specifically to lead our clinics. While every coach is a Spanish professional with official RNA certification, we are especially proud to include some full-time, year-round coaches from the Global Headquarters in Mallorca. This provides players in Utah and the Intermountain area with an authentic, high-performance experience led by experts who live and breathe the Rafa Nadal philosophy.
2. The World Renown RNA Championship Methodology
-
Experience the "RNA Way." Participants train under the exact methodology that helped Rafa Nadal achieve 22 Grand Slam titles. Our curriculum is designed to maximize your potential through the same drills, tactical approach, and winning mentality used at our global headquarters.
3. Personalized Training in Small Groups​
-
To ensure elite-level instruction and individual attention, we maintain strictly limited group sizes. Each court is supervised by an RNA-trained coach with a maximum of 4 players per court, allowing for real-time feedback and rapid improvement.
4. Palpable Energy & Unrivaled Camaraderie
-
The atmosphere on the court is electric. From the iconic sea of blue RNA t-shirts to the professional intensity of the drills, the energy is truly palpable. This isn’t just a week of tennis; it’s a high-motivation environment where lifelong bonds are formed and a passion for the game is fueled for years to come.
A Limited Opportunity
-
Hosting an event of this caliber is a rare privilege. This camp has sold out for the last two years, hosting 96 juniors and 40 adults. While we are thrilled to enter our 3rd straight year, there is no guarantee the Academy will return in the future.
-
For the Alumni: You know the energy—come back and take your game to the next level.
-
For the Newcomers: If you’ve been on the fence, this is the year to jump. It is worth every second.
