The Smith Stearns Tennis Academy is located in the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The Academy utilizes the Sea Pine Racquet Club’s championship-level clay courts, which are safer for young, still-developing bones and joints than hard surfaces are.

Hilton Head Island is known for its natural beauty and Southern hospitality. Besides tennis, many other outdoor activities — including golf and water sports — take place year-round in the temperate climate.

Shopping and dining here are also superb. Parents and other visitors have a wide variety of places to stay, including Sea Pines Resort and the Inn at Harbour Town.
