Welcome to the Mondial Lacoste Les Petits As: the leading tournament for the under 14s category!

A 10-day event, 42 nations, 350 of the most promising male and female teenage tennis players in the young world elite, of different nationalities, will go head-to-head during this competition.

All of these young players are to be watched carefully because in just 5 years, they will probably be among the great international players, just as other young men and women who competed in Les Petits As before them (Nadal, Federer, Mauresmo, etc…)!

The town of Tarbes is a partner of this tournament that has uncovered some of the biggest stars of the world tennis scene. As a significant partner for the event, the town plays an important role in ensuring the success of this event by providing the organising bodies, financial means, logistics and other important teams. As a consequence, the event benefits the local economy and really puts our town on the map, on an international scale.
