In 1985, off a beaten path in Haines City, Florida, at the luxurious Grenelefe Golf & Tennis Resort, Director of Tennis, Rick Macci, literally created a “miracle in the orange groves” with his passion, knowledge and drive to develop young athletes and change lives.

The Rick Macci Academy (RMTA) evolved from the enormous success of 15 year old, Tommy Ho and 12 year old, Jennifer Capriati, still to this day, the youngest to win the Boys and Girls USTA National 18 & under Championships. The Macci name and reputation is the leader in real junior development.
