Camp Program:

 

  • Our tennis camps are designed to focus on the fundamentals and swing techniques of modern tennis strokes. We tailor the instruction to the skill level and experience of each level of player. 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 to teach these young players sound fundamentals from the ground up.
    • Intermediate: Intermediate-level players will also focus on stroke production (to ensure proper technique) and be introduced to gameplay situations to introduce these players to the competitive side of the game.
    • High School / Tournament:  High school (both varsity and JV) and tournament players will focus on the strategic and competitive aspects of the game. Although swing fundamentals are featured, emphasis will also feature point building, court positioning, patterns of play, and live ball drill work.

        Q: Are there Skill Requirements for this camp?

        Per NCAA rules, our sports camps are open to all entrants. Enrollment is limited only by age, grade level, gender, and capacity restrictions as specified by each camp.

        Q: What type of campers attend this camp?

        Our camps are open to all levels of tennis players. We have players from absolute beginner to high school / Tournament level.

        We design our camps to teach the technical basics and love of the game to the beginning player, to introduce strategical decision making, and more advanced technique to the intermediate player, while building on their current stroke production, and to put the advanced players into pressured, strategical and competitive situations.

        Q. What is the ratio of campers to staff?

        Groups will be divided into small instructional groups of approximately 5-6: 1 camper to coach. Some camps/sessions offer higher or lower ratios based on the curriculum.

        Q. If the camp is full, do you have a waiting list?

        To be added to the waitlist, please register here (there is no fee to join the waitlist).

        Q. Should I purchase camp/cancellation insurance?

        We recommend all families purchase camp/cancellation insurance if they are concerned about the investment they are making in the camp.

                                    My daughter, Rebecca, has attended the camp for the last two years. She loves it! The camp is about so much more than tennis. They have excellent experiences on the IU campus, incorporate fun activities like bowling and swimming, and have excellent adults working with the students. Then, there is the tennis! My daughter’s skills have improved tremendously every time she has attended. She has shared several times that she loves the way they teach the skills. We recommend this camp to everyone! My daughter will be attending every year she is eligible in the future!
