THE PHILOSOPHY

Camp is about building character. Desire, sportsmanship and hard work are fundamental characteristics of a true champion. Most of all it's about tennis, playing tennis to one's potential and the opportunity for your child to develop his or her skills. We will work each day to achieve these objectives through goal setting.

THE PROGRAM

The daily schedule includes six to seven hours per day on the tennis courts. A strong emphasis is placed on fundamentals and consistency of performance. We combine intense physical and mental training along with a team
atmosphere to obtain maximum performance.
