Tennis Academy Mallorca 2026

Jeff Schneider and Ali Yenilmez at Tennis Academy Mallorca

Jeff & Ali Yenilmez — Tennis Academy Mallorca

Sister Academy

15+ Years of Partnership

Tennis Academy Mallorca (TAM) in Paguera, Spain, has been a cornerstone of this coaching operation for over 15 years. What began as a professional relationship with founder Ali Yenilmez has grown into an official sister academy arrangement — a true home away from home for elite players making the transition to international competition.

In June 2026, Jeff returns to TAM for a 10-week block — opening an exclusive opportunity for Australian tennis players across all levels to experience a world-class clay court program tailored to their individual needs. Whether you're a competitive junior, an aspiring collegiate player, or a serious adult — this is a rare chance to train at one of Europe's premier clay court facilities under world-class coaching.
