Camp Program Offerings
High Performance Program
The High Performance Camp Program is a full day camp on Monday-Friday (except the July 4th week, where there is no camp on Wednesday) from 10:00am-5:00pm designed for advanced, competitive, tournament-playing juniors ages 9-18. Camp focuses on advanced techniques and strategies to raise your game to the next level. This program includes tennis drills, match-play sessions, classroom sessions for tactics and strategy, and daily strength & injury prevention training, conditioning for footwork, speed, agility and endurance at the fitness center.
All Skills Program
The All Skills Program is a half day camp on Monday-Friday (except the July 4th week, where there is no camp on Wednesday) from 9:00am-12:00pm geared towards players ages 9-18 of all skill levels. This program is geared towards beginners through advanced players who love this sport. This program includes tennis drills, match-play sessions, and some strength & injury prevention training, conditioning for footwork, speed, agility and endurance at the fitness center.
10&Under Tennis Program
The 10&Under Tennis Program is a half day camp on Monday-Friday (except the July 4th week, where Wednesday's session is no camp on Wednesday) from 9:00am-12:00pm geared towards players ages 6-10 who are just learning the sport. '10 & Under Tennis' (aka QuickStart) follows the logic of other youth sports: balls bounce lower, move slower through the air and are easier to hit. Racquets are sized for small hands and courts are smaller and easier to cover. By using this format, the benefits are immediate and very quickly little kids are rallying, playing, and excited to keep playing! This program includes tennis drills and match play sessions.

quality of his training is superb!
August 3, 2016: The program at Hardscabble is outstanding. My son looks forward to every day and the quality of his training is superb. Randy and his coaches are able to bring along kids at all levels, from novice to elite juniors.

great program
July 28, 2016: It's a great program and my 14 year old son wants to attend another week in mid August. The cost prohibits a majority of young Americans from ever learning the sport, let alone playing regularly. While we can afford it, I do see that as a huge drawback. Also, my son has no one to play WITH once he is home so he can ONLY play when we pay the big $$ and enroll him in private lessons or clinics.
