Pymble + Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy
A recent collaboration between the Pymble Tennis Academy (PTA) and the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy in Mallorca, Spain, offers an exciting international pathway for Pymble Tennis players.
Through the collaboration, Pymble girls have the opportunity to train with world-class coaches, participate in immersive workshops and develop their game in an international competitive environment that few schools in Australia can offer.
In addition to player development, exchange programs will take place between Pymble coaches travelling to Spain and academy coaches visiting the College to ensure the same elite coaching principles are integrated into Tennis programs at Pymble.
