OVERVIEW
This camp will take place August 3rd – August 6th from 9-noon. Per CHSAA rules, mandatory boys practices start up the following Monday (August 10th), so this is a Perfect way to prepare for high school tennis! Regardless if you’re a freshman aiming for JV, or shooting for #1 singles on varsity, this camp is going to prepare you for your season!
This camp is geared towards the high school boys, but girls are also welcome! The age requirement is 12 + years old (unless you have a UTR rating of at least 2, or a high state/sectional USTA ranking if you’re under 12)! We split the players up based on UTR and skill level to guarantee that everyone has fun, is challenged, and improves!
There will be some tennis specific conditioning and flexibility/mobility training as a part of this camp, so come ready to work hard and fun! We will cover tactics, mechanics, footwork patterns, shot selection, and go over everything you need to know to compete in singles and doubles! Only the top 3 kids at each school play singles, so doubles competition and strategy will be a big part of this camp as well!
You will want to bring healthy snacks for our breaks (salted snacks), and water and gatorade. We will take breaks each day at 10 and 11 AM. I will be joined by several college players (and former students) who will hit in to challenge our top kids and help coach!
