PM - Tennis (Rising Kindergarten to 3rd grades)

Counselor: Senora Lupe Prince

Camp Fee: $225

Tennis is a life-long sport. Using smaller courts, lower bouncing balls, and shorter racquets, tennis becomes easier. Children will have more fun by being able to rally right from the start. The more they play, the faster they will learn.

Players will learn basic tennis skills, including ball and racquet handling skills, foot work, grip technique, and basic understanding of stroke shape (i.e., loop, contact, finish). We will cover groundstrokes, forehand and backhand, volleys, serves, and how to keep score. We will play a lot of fun games along the way.
