El International Coaches Institute (ICI) y el Registro Profesional de Tenis (RPT) son organizaciones creadas con el objetivo de servir como punto de encuentro para todos los profesionales de la industria del tenis que desean especializarse en el ámbito competitivo. Se trata de una entidad que tiene como finalidad apoyar el trabajo profesional de entrenadores y colaboradores, mejorando la calidad, el prestigio y el reconocimiento de la profesión.

El Instituto ofrece la oportunidad de preparar a los entrenadores para alcanzar niveles superiores dentro de la pirámide del desarrollo del tenis, así como de formar a jugadores dentro del entorno competitivo. Su metodología está basada en el sistema de la Emilio Sánchez Academy (ES Academy), un método único y eficaz que ha ayudado a desarrollar a jugadores de élite como Andy Murray, Grigor Dimitrov, Daniela Hantuchová, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Ana Ivanović y Juan Mónaco, entre otros, y que también ha permitido a cientos de jugadores obtener becas en prestigiosas universidades de Estados Unidos.

Este Sistema Español de Tenis ha demostrado su eficacia durante los últimos 37 años. El RPT ha desempeñado un papel clave en la formación y desarrollo de más de 10.000 entrenadores en España y más de 28.000 entrenadores en 131 países, colaborando con la ES Academy desde su fundación en 1999.

Nuestro objetivo es contribuir y dar continuidad a su legado como impulsores de la mayor organización de entrenadores del mundo.

They are offered twice a year during the Spring and Fall. Usually, the Spring dates for the course are during the first week of June, it starts with the 2-days and a half day course level 1, continues with the 2-days and a half day course level 2, and finishes with the doubles daily course after the first 2. The college-level is usually offered during the Fall semester. The courses are offered during the first week of December and they start with the college coaching course. We usually determine the dates of the courses 3 months or 4 before the courses so my recommendation keep checking the ICI webpage.

During the pandemic, we offered the courses in an online matter for those who couldn’t travel overseas. Right now, we are improving our online course to make it dynamic and to be able to offer it during the whole year for those who want to extend their knowledge and take it online.

Upon completion of the onsite course, the academy will ask you if you want to be certified. The test is an add-on of the course with a cost of $300. There will be a written and an on-court test of the topics talked about at the level you are testing for. Testing is only offered for Level 1 and Level 2 courses. Once the test is completed, if you have passed you will be getting the certification. CERTIFICATIONS LEVEL 1: ICI & RPT Competition Coach (+80%) ICI & RPT Assistant Coach (+60%) CERTIFICATIONS LEVEL 2: ICI & RPT Professional Coach (+70%)

No, as of now we don’t have online testing because there is a test that is on the court. If you wish to get the certifications, you can always come to one of our Emilio Sanchez academies (Barcelona, Naples Florida or Dubai ) and do the test with one of our coaches to get the certifications.

During the onsite course, you will be receiving a printed manual of the pdf presentation of the level ICI & RPT that you are participating in, a folder from our academy to keep your materials, a T-shirt from the ICI & RPT corporations, and an access link to all the backup videos of the sessions on the court that are pre-recorded for you to be able to have and download. Also, you will be receiving an attendance diploma from the ICI & RPT corporations to your email after the course is completed.

The link to sign up is posted on the ICI & RPT website https://rptenis.org/en there will be a link to register. Important information to remember: Once you are in the link if you wish to take more than one course you need to sign up for the different courses and make the online payment.

Yes, if you have taken the onsite course, it is free at no cost to retake the course (if you wish to take the test for the first time there will be an extra charge). If you decide to take the course onsite after you have taken it online there will be an option to pay the extra difference to come onsite.

It is recommended that you take more than 1 course because they are created in a progression meaning after level 1 finishes, level 2 starts, and so on.

Not really, if you wish to work as a coach or to improve your coaching skills it will be useful for any type of level you wish to train. The course walks you along our system to be able to become a coach and to become a better coach.

Level 1 is a 3-days course that usually starts early in the morning around 8 am and goes 2 days of course and the third one in the morning will be the test, the same afternoon the participants who had signed up for the second one will start the second one that afternoon. The college-level course is a daily course that starts early in the morning and finishes the same day, the doubles course is the same.

We are hoping to have it ready by this January 2023 edition, email us at ascmarketingfl@emiliosanchezacademy.com and we will update you with new information on the online course.

We will have a guideline of instructions that we will post on the ICI & RPT website once the online version is prepared for you to follow.

If you visit the ICI & RPT website in each course you will see the main features of what you will be learning in each course. Each course is different. On level 1: You will be learning how to coach players from initiation to formation based on the Spanish tennis teaching system that is formed by 4 pillars of the game: Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Mental. On level 2: You will be learning how to coach players from formation to elite based on the Spanish tennis teaching system that is formed by 4 pillars of the game: Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Mental. On the Doubles level: You will be learning about all aspects of the double’s games like: Life Ball exercises with 2,3 and 4 players on the court, a chain of drills that are used to work on the doubles game such as the serve and return, the areas of the court for the double’s games like the 3 allies, how doubles are used to improve singles and other useful information for the doubles game. On the College level: You will be learning exercises and life balls drills to be able to manage a college team and get the most out of their game. This is a specialized course that helps you develop new aspects of the game.

All of the ICI & RPT levels are useful for all types of athletes. Even if you have a top 10 athlete, you still need to come back to the basics when it comes to correcting the main things. For Level 2 which is a more advanced level of players, the drills sometimes can also be adapted to your initiation or formation players. The chain of drills that works on the impact point for level 2 is really useful for any type of player. On the doubles course, everything can be used for any type of player even if they don’t play doubles. In the life ball drills, you can adapt 4 players on the court that sometimes as a coach is useful if you don’t have space. Also, there is a classroom that talks about how you can use doubles to improve singles. With that being said, any type of coach can take any level of the courses to develop and improve the skills.

1 week prior to the course, the email that you added on your registration process will be the one where you will be receiving the schedule of the classes. There are on court and on classroom classes with breaks between them for coffee. (Make sure you check your spam folder as well If you don’t see it on the inbox).

For food, we offer a buffet in our academy in Naples and Barcelona where you can pay the daily rate of $12, and it is all you can eat. For breakfast we do have coffee and pastries for the course participants on the same room of the course.

It is essential that you bring racket and sports clothes to attend the courses as they are done in the classroom and on the court.

We currently offer these courses in our Barcelona and Naples academy. If you wish to take the courses outside of the planned dates, we have a program for you to shadow and learn from one of our coaches the Spanish tennis teaching system and get the knowledge.
