Summer Tennis Camp

    • Coach: Dan Kraft
    • Cost: $30/week
    • Dates: TBD
    • Location: Pershing Park
    • The coaching staff is excited to offer summer tennis camps for all interested players.  We are offering 6 week-long camps starting June 9 and running every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 12pm at Pershing Park through the end of July (excluding 4th of July week).  Players will be split into two groups by ability so you will be hitting with players near your level and each session will have time for instructional drills, match play, and fun games. Cost will be $30 per week (for 6 hours of instruction and play) and a link to sign-ups will be coming shortly in a separate email.  You will be signing up for a week at a time and we ask that you cancel no later than the Friday before the camp so we can plan for coaching.  We would like to have at least 8 players signed up for each week.  This is a great opportunity to tune up for try-outs and the season ahead!
