CAMP PROGRAMS
We offer Day Camps (Monday-Thursday 9:00am-3:00pm and Friday 9:00am-12:00pm) for ages 8-17 with an All Skills program.
- All Skills Program: The All Skills program is designed for tennis players of any skill level and background. Campers will learn fundamentals and improve upon their game.
CAMP SCHEDULE
- Check-in: Campers will check in 8:30am-9:00am at the tennis courts. Instruction will begin at 9:00am.
- Check Out: Campers will check out at 12:00pm on Friday
- Day Camper Schedule: Monday-Thursday 9:00am-3:00pm, Friday 9:00am-12:00pm
- Half Day Camper Schedule: Monday-Friday: 9:00am-12:00pm
During the morning training session players will rotate through a variety of competitive-based drills to work on different skillsets. As players win they will move up and compete with better players and after losing they will move down. Rotations will be quick so players are not stuck with the same group for extended periods. After a short break for lunch, coaches will divide campers into teams and campers will play matches during the afternoon using college tennis rules. Coaches will provide immediate feedback while players try to implement the skills that were developed during the morning sessions.
MEALS
Lunch is not provided. Campers will need to bring their own lunch each day.
