Camp Philosophy:

All-Court Tennis Camps strive to provide child-friendly and instruction appropriate to age and ability. All-Court staff are experienced, patient, and enthusiastic. They also understand that to teach the sport of tennis effectively, instructors must be adept at making drills productive, engaging, and FUN! Instruction begins by breaking down the essential movements of a stroke into understandable parts. Campers practice each component, and then build each piece back into a complete stroke. Teaching activities are focused and lively, with small camper groups on each of the 8 courts, and lots of small games and a variety of drills.


Half-Day Camp:

Ages: 6 - 16

Description: Children learn tennis best through an immersion program where good habits are formed through daily repetition and reinforcement. A half-day camp provides this daily contact, yet is short enough and varied enough to hold the attention of younger kids. It is also a great way for beginners to try out the sport of tennis.

Time: Monday - Friday, morning session (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM) or afternoon session (1:00 - 4:30 PM)

Tuition: For Half-day, tuition is $210, but we offer a $20 discount for payment in full at time of registration, and a further $15 discount (each!) for an additional family member/OR family friend. Example: two friends, paid in advance is $210 - $20 - $15 = $175 each, or $350 for both. (Please mark your registration forms accordingly!) If you do not wish to pay in advance, a $50 (each) deposit will hold a place for a camper with the balance of $160 (or, $145 with sibling/carpool discount) due the first day of camp. (NOTE: Families signing up for multiple weeks, need to pay only ONE week's worth of tuition in advance.) Camp tuition includes T-shirt.

Full-Day Camp:

Ages: 6 - 16

Description: Each full-day camper can expect a variety of drills, quality instruction from different instructors, lots of personal feedback, and some truly feeble jokes at lunch. Camper are also offered the opportunity have their strokes, movement, and footwork analyzed through digital video on our laptop computer. Kids learn rapidly when they see what they are doing from new perspectives. Full-day camp also offers more chances to use matchplay to reinforce good habits, and apply new techniques, under appropriate supervision. However, because of the time commitment, a full-day camper should also be quite motivated about his/her interest in tennis.

Time: Monday - Friday, 8:30 AM - 3:30PM

Tuition: $330 ($30 discount for payment in full at time of registration, and a further $20 discount for each additional family member/friend) A $75 non-refundable deposit will hold a place for a camper, with the remainder due on the first day. Camp tuition includes T-shirt.

1:30 - 2:15 Combining skills, game situations, short ladder games
