Michael Academia is the Assistant Manager and Tournament Director of MNTC. During his rigorous studies in the W&M Biology Master’s Program, playing tennis served a critical role in his academic, physical, and mental success. Today he is committed to sharing tennis and MNTC to our community, knowing the many benefits that tennis can provide whether competitively or recreationally.

Michael’s experience of playing tennis started as a child when his first tennis coach was his uncle, and his tennis buddies were his cousins. He has competed in junior USTA tournaments and still competes in adult USTA tournaments, PTPA, and the GLTA World Tour.
