Camp Tennis
This summer, your child can learn to play tennis or improve their tennis skills. Our tennis camp is designed for players between the ages of 7 to 12. Our certified instructor, Yvonne Grenier, will group players based on age and skill level. Players with some experience in tennis can benefit from footwork drills, court strategies, both for singles and doubles, and scoring, while beginner players will learn the basic strokes, grips, and footwork. We want your child to not only learn the game of tennis, but to have fun too, so we will include games that reinforce good footwork, and hand eye coordination. Tennis is a lifelong sport, Yvonne, and her staff have a deep love for tennis, our goal this summer, pass that on!
