Footwork fundamentals
The opener. Every age band, every level. We treat the first week as a tone-setter: split-step, recovery footwork, ball judgment. The week most kids re-discover what their feet are supposed to be doing.
Summer camps run weekly from mid-June through early August. Eight weekly themes for four age bands, full-day or half-day, lunch supplied for full-day campers. Camp tuition includes everything but the racquet — and we have loaners if your player doesn't have one yet.
The opener. Every age band, every level. We treat the first week as a tone-setter: split-step, recovery footwork, ball judgment. The week most kids re-discover what their feet are supposed to be doing.
The first match-play week. Point construction, court positioning, and a mini-tournament Friday afternoon. Future Stars play short-court rotations; everyone older plays full-court matches.
Doubles formations, poaching patterns, the first-volley rule. Daily four-player drills, doubles round-robin Friday. Underrated week — players consistently come back sharper at singles after.
The week we shoot the most film. Toss mechanics, kick variants, and a return-position curriculum that pulls from the Performance squad's standard week. Heavy on reps; built for breakthrough.
Eight scheduled matches per camper across the week. Full warm-up routine, real scorecards, real handshake at the net. Designed for tournament prep and for kids who've never played a real match.
The whole week on Har-Tru. Sliding mechanics, drop-shot pattern, point-construction adjustments for slower courts. The clay courts get a fresh roll Sunday before this week starts.
Built specifically for ages six to nine. Half-day only, slower-balls all week, fewer drills and more games. The week we use to recruit next year's Future Stars cohort. Lots of laughter, light stroke work.
The closer. School-team preview week. Designed for high-school athletes returning to varsity tennis or USTA-circuit fall play. Heaviest fitness load of the summer; full match play afternoons.
Camp days are structured but not packed. Court time is split across two on-court blocks with a long lunch in the middle and skill stations in the afternoon — designed to keep nine-year-old shoulders fresh and fifteen-year-old attention spans engaged.
Drop-off, dynamic warm-up on the back-court grass strip, footwork ladders.
Stroke instruction and structured drills aligned to the week's theme.
Supplied lunch, shaded picnic deck, cards or board games. No screens.
Off-court agility, racquet-handling games, watering breaks every 25 min.
Live-ball play, point construction, mini-tournament rotations.
Static stretching, daily debrief, parent pickup. We text early-pickup needs.
Full-day campers receive a supplied lunch every day. Menu rotates weekly — simple sandwiches or wraps, fruit, and a cookie or cold-veg option, plus drinks. Allergens are flagged on the registration form; we accommodate dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian without notice.
Multi-week and sibling discounts apply automatically when registered together. We hold camp tuition on file for the season — refunds available with a week's notice for medical or family conflicts; transfers between weeks allowed at any time subject to availability.
Existing academy players get priority registration in early March. Public registration opens April 1. The most popular weeks (Foundations, Match Play, Future Stars) typically fill within ten days. Hold a spot now; final payment isn't due until May 15.
