Join us this summer for this St. Louis tennis camp at Christian Brothers College High School. Coach Demos will direct these great weeks of tennis instruction and fun. Half-Day campers welcome.
*Camp is for all ages 8-17
Camp is open to all ages and ability levels. We assess each camper’s ability during the first session of camp and make sure they are grouped according to their age and abilities so this way we can tailor the drills, games, and match-play to fit their individual needs.
Camp Director
Peter Demos, currently Director of Tennis for Cadet Park, CBC High School’s head tennis coach, and Whitfield High School Head Tennis Coach, has been teaching and coaching tennis for many years at both the junior and senior player levels.
Last year, he coached CBC’s Boy’s tennis team to the Missouri State Championship final. Coach Demos also served as player coach for the Puerto Rican National Stephan’s Cup Team competition held in Costa Rica as well as competing in many senior player events both in the USA and internationally.
The father of two daughters, who play D1 college tennis, as well as a son who is currently a D1 college quarterback, has been very successful in instilling a fun but competitive attitude in his children as well as in his students.
Demos combines the best of traditional and modern tennis fundamentals in a fun and entertaining program resulting in a love of tennis and an appreciation of the best of lifetime sports!
