Programs Offered at CWRU
TRADITIONAL DAY CAMP: Our traditional tennis camps (non match-play or college prep) are designed to focus on the fundamentals and swing techniques of the modern tennis strokes. Some of the areas of focus for each level include:
• Beginners: The beginning level player will be introduced to the basics of the game. Emphasis will be placed on stroke production and the technical aspects of the swing in an effort to teach these young players sound fundamentals from the ground up.
• Intermediate: Intermediate level players will also focus on fundamental stroke production (to ensure proper technique), but will also be in put into game play situations to introduce these players to the competitive side of the game.
• Advanced: The more advanced players will work with stroke production in a competitive environment, but will also be introduced to the basic strategies of the game.
• High School / Tournament: Varsity high school and tournament players will focus on the strategic and competitive aspects of the game. Although there will be attention spent on the stroke fundamentals, more emphasis will be placed on point progression, court positioning, patterns and sequences, percentage plays and live ball drill work.

TESTIMONIALS
My daughter Selin and nephew Ege (who came from Turkey) completed their tennis camp10 ays ago. They had a wonderful time. Despite they were very tired at the end of the day, they did not want to miss any second of the camp. The all around experience including training, the interaction with the coaches, and friends that they made was unforgottable.Thank you for this wonderful experience. We look forward to joining the next tennis camp.
