Past Camper
Hit lots of ball!
I loved the camp. Just like it was advertised we got to hit a LOT of balls, which I think helped me tremendously. I improved so much from the camp that the following week I was moved up from level 2.0 to 2.5 by my local tennis instructor!
Past Camper
Highly recommended!
The camp was well-organized and the coaching staff was excellent. I hope to come again next year and would recommend it to anyone.
