About

Co-founded in 2002 by tennis legend Stan Smith and director B.J. Stearns, Smith Stearns is a leading full-time junior academy set within Hilton Head's Sea Pines Resort. Rather than dormitories it houses boarders in supervised single-family homes with house parents, emphasizing a family-style atmosphere. Players train on championship Sea Pines clay and hard courts and can pair training with Hilton Head Prep academics, and the academy touts one of the country's strongest college-placement records.
