The goal of our camps is to create such a memorable week that players want to keep coming back for more!

Beginners to nationally ranked players of all ages attend our camps. Each player who attends is unique; therefore we design a program to specifically fit the needs of the individual. Prior to arrival we ask each camper to submit a player profile. This profile allows us to determine the experience level of the player and the goals he or she wishes to achieve during the camp.

For those players who are just beginning to play tennis, we provide instruction that will teach all the basic fundamentals of the sport. By the time each child leaves our camp he or she will know how to play a match and keep score.

For our more advanced tournament players, we offer parents the opportunity to submit the name of the primary tennis professional who is working with their child. Working in conjunction with the child’s primary professional helps us to achieve greater improvement throughout the week and helps to reinforce the same instruction that the player is experiencing at home.

We feel competition should be fun at all levels. Each afternoon our players engage in a fun event called “2on2 Challenge”©. This event emphasizes improvement in singles and doubles match play while working together as a team. For more information on this program, visit our website.
