NEW FEATURES

DAILY CLINICS
Available for current Campers only.  Students who participate in 1 or more weeks during the 2004 summer season will be eligible for our $35 per day afternoon play and clinic special. Campers will take part in a private group lesson from 1:30-2:30 and then continue match play in the afternoon until 4 pm.

WEEK LONG TOURNAMENTS

Each Monday afternoon will kick off a girl’s and boy’s 16’s and 12’s single elimination tournament, run like a USTA sanctioned event.  Prizes will be awarded to the winning players.

  WEDNESDAY ROUND ROBINS

Every Wednesday the camp will run a round robin tournament with as many as three different levels.  This event will be open to others outside the camp, space permitting.  This is a great opportunity for your child to invite their friends to come and see the camp for a nominal fee.  Prizes for the winners.

  CIRCUIT TRAINING

Circuit Training is a popular and successful approach to tennis instructional programs that is used at the most successful academies around the country.

Students rotate several stations, each focusing on a different stroke or strategy concept.  This allows students to learn and review each stroke every day and get the benefit of a variety of our experienced staff.
