USP Winter Showcase: Your Path to College Tennis at ES Academy
Every year, our ES Academy in Naples transforms into the center stage for one of the most anticipated tennis events—the USP Winter Showcase. Organized by USP our college pathway partners, this showcase offers young tennis athletes an invaluable opportunity to display their talent in front of more than 200 college coaches. These coaches, hailing from prestigious institutions, are on the lookout for players who demonstrate not only skill and technique but also teamwork, grit, and a winning attitude.
Reflections on College Athletics and Scholarships
The month of November has been a special time here at Academia Sanchez-Casal. First, we had our alum Andy Murray capture the number one spot in the ATP rankings and later during the National Letter of Intent (NLI) signing period we had six student-athletes formalize their commitments to some of Division I’s top academic and athletic schools: River Hart- University of Minnesota, Victoria Emma- University of Florida, Edson Ortiz Tovar- University of Alabama, Zummy Bauer- Georgia Tech, Tristan McCormick- Notre Dame, Fletcher Scott- University of Illinois. For these high school students, this event marked an important milestone and sets them on a path to continue their tennis careers while also earning a quality education.
