DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS
Children are divided by age and ability across the courts in each camp-like setting. Each site will have a head coach and assistants to oversee the day's activities, beginning with warm-up, skill of the day, and practice, followed by games and match play.
MUNCHKIN TENNIS QuickStart Tennis format introduces our youngest children to tennis skills in a non-threatening manner, developing eye-hand-ball skills which progress easily into racquet handling. Racquets and courts are tailored to a child's size. Slower and lower bouncing balls ease a child into moving to the ball and rallying over the net. A variety of fun, fast- paced games, with every child constantly involved, introduce the forehand, backhand, volley, serve, and footwork. Children participate in rotation through various skill stations, then small group contests, and finally games that introduce scoring and rallying
TEN AND UNDER TENNIS introduces tennis to children based on age, physical size and ability. By modifying the court dimensions (36 feet or 60 feet in length), uusing appropriately sized tennis racquets and slower bouncing balls, beginners progress rapidlyChildren who have progressed to rallying 4 or 5 times over the net with the red felt balls on the 36' court will be avanced to the orange ball 60' court. With success on the 60' court, the will progress to the full yellow ball 72' court. ALL children will be introduced to game play. They will learn simple scoring, match play, & good sportsmanship.
MIDDLE SCHOOL TENNIS helps young teens progress quickly from beginner to full court competitive games. They receive an extra half hour of match play, plus many kids remain at the courts to play with their friends. Healthy outdoor fun and exercise! Learning tennis with their peers, many of these players go on to play high school JV or Varsity Tennis.
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED is geared for the dedicated junior who is playing or planning to play competitively in programs such as USTA JR Team Tennis, USTA Tournaments, or high school varsity tennis. We work on high level stroke production and match play.
TENNIS ACADEMY This 5.5 hour tennis camp is appropriate for boys and girls, ages 9-15, who can rally over the net. The day's schedule includes 2 hrs. of morning tennis drills, swim & lunch break, and
