Atlas Tennis: Travel, Training, Tourneys ft Ben Shapiro

Atlas Tennis: Travel, Training, Tourneys ft Ben Shapiro

Author: Lisa Stone November 12, 2025 Duration: 50:52

Welcome to Season 14 Episode 43 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Ben Shapiro of Atlas Tennis is back to talk about the phenomenal trips they took in Summer 2025 and what's on deck for Spring Break and Summer 2026.

Tennis, travel, and human connection—these are the foundation of Atlas Tennis. Well before they started Atlas, the founders knew there was so much potential in bringing these things together, and that belief is what drives Atlas to create one-of-a-kind tennis camps and experiences. They take small groups (10-15 teens plus 2-3 well-vetted coaches per group) of junior tennis players ages 13-18 to the UK and Europe to experience their sport in a whole new way.

For 2026, Atlas is offering their summer experiences but also adding in Spring Break trips for high school teams and individual players who are looking for a different type of training environment for 4-5 days.

In order to get more information on these offerings, go to the Atlas Tennis website at https://atlas.tennis/learn-more/. You can also reach out to Ben directly at ben@atlas.tennis or message him through the Atlas Tennis Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/atlastennis/.
