CAMP PROGRAMS

We offer a Half Day (9:00am-11:30am) camp option for all ability levels, for boys and girls, ages 6-12. Each session runs from Monday-Thursday. This 12 & Under program features the USTA's successful teaching format and utilizes age-appropriate courts and low compression balls (RED, ORANGE & GREEN). Sessions are open to players of all abilities unless otherwise noted. Upon arrival, participants are evaluated by the staff so that their instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.

  • 12 and Under Program: The "12 & Under Program" features the USTA’s successful teaching format. This is an exciting way for kids ages 12 & under to learn to play tennis as well as compete. The courts are age-appropriate and balls are low compression so they are easier to hit, allowing kids to get to the ball and develop optimal swing patterns. This program uses only RED, ORANGE, and GREEN BALLS.
