Grades 1 through 8 Summer Camps – 2024

This camp will focus on teaching basic tennis fundamentals. Our morning lesson plans include a wide assortment of skill building games and drills. Students who are ready can expect to play some singles and/or doubles matches with other campers. This camp is a good fit for beginning players to strong intermediate players.

IMPORTANT FACTS:

• Emphasis will be placed on developing good stroking mechanics and on skill building drills and fun games.
• Consider having your child register for the camp with a friend–children tend to feel more comfortable, have more fun and learn more when they are playing with friends. If your child wants to be on the same court with his/her friends, please remember to fill out the portion of the registration form that asks about specific grouping arrangements.
• Maximum student to teacher ratio: 6:1.
• Sessions run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• Please read the “coaches” section to learn more about our talented staff
• All camps will be held at the Sacred Heart Schools tennis complex (Valparaiso and Emilie).
• Drop-off/Pick-up/Parking: Sacred Heart Schools tennis complex parking lot (Valparaiso and Emilie).
