Specific Training
|
Our on-court instruction is divided into three distinct groups that meet the needs of the beginner to the tournament player:
• White Camp-Instruction for the beginner addresses fundamentals and basic teaching for the camper just getting started in tennis.
• Orange Camp-Instruction is designed for the youngster who has played some competitive tennis with his or her high school team and perhaps some tournaments. Approximately 50% of the camp will be made up each week with Orange camp training.
• Orange Crush-Instruction is designed for the serious tennis competitor looking to take his or her game to the next level. Instruction addresses what it will take to play at the college level. Only 20% of the campers train in Orange Crush Camp each week.
** We will evaluate the camper’s playing level early in the week to make sure that your daughter or son is placed in the best four-person group for his/her maximum improvement.
