CAMP PROGRAM
Full Day Camp: 8:30am-3:00pm
Half Day Camp: 8:30am-11:30am
Mornings consist of drilling, point play, conditioning, and off-court fun. Afternoons will focus on match play and other fun competitive games.
All sessions are open to players of all abilities with a focus on beginner and intermediate level. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.
We offer Full Day (8:30am-3:00pm) and Half Day (8:30am-11:30am) camps for boys and girls, ages 6-17, with All Skills and 10&Under Tennis programs.
- All Skills Program: The All Skills program is designed for tennis players of any skill level and background and includes concentrated work to develop the proper fundamentals and a mix of drilling and match play.
- 10 and Under Tennis: 10&Under Tennis is an exciting way for kids 10 and under are learning to play tennis as well as compete. The courts are smaller and balls are low-compression so they are easier to hit, allowing kids to get to the ball and develop optimal swing patterns. It all makes it easy and fun for them to hit, play and score from the start while developing skills that will last a lifetime. Please note: This program is optional and younger campers may opt to play regular tennis on the full courts.
