Summer Tennis Camp Format
We use an exciting NEW play format for learning tennis. It is designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing specialized equipment (racquets, balls and net height).
Specialized Equipment for Kids
Shorter Court Dimensions
Rackets That Fit Kids Hands
Slow-Bounce Tennis Balls
Shorter court dimensions and modified scoring all tailored to age and size. Kids can start playing at a very early age. Balls bounce lower, don’t move as faster through the air, and are easier to hit.
Ideal for 5-8 Year Olds
Kids Learn the Fundamentals
Kids Play Real Tennis
More Fun and Less Frustration
By using this NEW format, the benefits are immediate and within a short time, kids are rallying, playing, and excited to keep playing. That means kids will have MORE FUN and less frustration.
