Camp Objectives
The objective of the Baylor Tennis Camp is for 10-18 year-olds to have fun while learning the basic fundamentals and techniques that are required in the game of tennis. We are sensitive to the needs of each student. Each player will be placed by ability with drills designed to meet each camper's needs. A written evaluation will be given to each camper. Areas covered during the week are: stroke production, singles and doubles strategy, conditioning, sports psychology, goal setting and mental toughness.
