Let us introduce ourselves

ABOUT OUR ACADEMY

We are a Tennis Family who assist in the promotion and introduction of tennis in St. Lucia. We believe that we have a responsibility in providing excellent quality tennis not only for our members but for all residents and visitors in our wider community.

Acers is now the leading Tennis Academy in St Lucia, We pride ourselves in providing the environment and opportunities needed for young performance tennis players to thrive in their tennis journey. It is evident that the personalized approach we take ensures that our players progress on their individual pathways while flourishing as part of our club teams and national teams representing St .Lucia at all major events. 

A key priority is to connect communities with tennis - and involvement with the Acers Tennis Club exemplifies the positive impact this can have. Most importantly, it can help improve engagement and culture within the school community. "We hope to have Tennis be the cornerstone of the school's culture and become the preferred sport of choice in this/our community," We are hoping to send a clear message to our community that they are important and also give them the opportunity to participate in a wonderful sporting endeavor that we make accessible for all.
