Camp Format
Upon arrival at camp each player is observed so that players of similar levels are grouped together. Each group of five students is assigned to an instructor who will work with the group as a whole and also with each individual. In this way, the player benefits from his individual coaching and also from general comments made to other players in his group.
During the week campers receive the following:
- five to six hours of daily instruction on the courts
- instruction on stroke production and proper shot
execution
- drill situations to improve singles and doubles
- video-taping and review
- time set aside for competition, free tennis, and playing with instructors
- discussions on tennis strategy and match play
Supervision
Campers are supervised by our staff 24 hours a day, during all tennis and non-tennis activities. Counselors sleep in the dorms, eat meals and participate in evening activities with campers. Our counselor to camper ratio of one to five facilitates effective supervision and teaching.
