Born and raised in South Africa, by the age of 19 Julian Krinsky was competing professionally on the international tennis tour, including Wimbledon and the Italian and French Opens. After earning a law degree and becoming a chartered accountant, Julian settled in Philadelphia … and began to teach a few tennis students, part-time.
That was 1977. Soon dozens of students at a time were sleeping over in bunk beds and backyard tents for weekend lessons. By the next year, leased indoor courts and dormitory rooms were needed to accommodate the suddenly fast-growing school of tennis. At the same time, the Julian Krinsky business model had begun to emerge.
Today, the Julian Krinsky Group creates high quality, innovative sports and education experiences for more than 4000 young people each year, and offers a range of other related services.
