Tuscarora is offering tennis camps this summer in our beautifully updated facility! Our overall goal is to keep kids active and encourage tennis as a lifetime sport of fun and great exercise. Players will enjoy working with USPTA teaching professionals with a variety of partner games, drills and match play. They will also work with a certified personal trainer on and off court with sport specific fitness to improve speed and agility, balance, coordination and flexibility. All players should pack healthy snacks and water bottles for breaks. Also bring a notebook, hat/visor, towel, wristbands and sunscreen. Quickstart (Ages 5-7) & Young Beginners (Ages 8-10) Monday through Thursday 9am-12:30pm $225 per week In this camp, we work on all basic tennis skills with upbeat drills and exciting games. We help players develop motor skills needed for different strokes and everyone moves at their own pace based on ability. We use low compression balls and size appropriate equipment to get players rallying and playing points comfortably. The camp emphasizes working with a partner, good sportsmanship and tons of fun! Low Intermediates (Ages 10-14) Monday through Thursday 1pm-4:30pm $225 per week This camp is geared towards higher level drills and developing skills and strategies for singles and doubles match play on a standard court. Similar goals of team building and sportsmanship are encouraged in preparation for high school tennis and tournaments. More physical conditioning is emphasized to build strength and speed needed for competitive play. Focus Camp (Ages 10 & up Tournament Level) Monday through Thursday 1pm-4:30pm $225 per week These juniors should be committed to tournament competition as this camp is a concentrated program of multiple stroke drills, game planning and addressing the mental toughness and physical fitness needed to succeed. Players will be recorded for video analysis and compared from the beginning to end of the week. Advanced match play and strategy and specialty strokes are combined with intense daily fitness training. We will also review pre match warm ups, stretches and focusing rituals, proper hydration and nutrition and racquet care. Training will be on hard courts as well as Har-tru (clay) courts.
