2024 SUMMER CAMP - Availability in ALL camps. Change to sort "by date" for easiest viewing.
We offer half-day camps on LBI in Harvey Cedars, Beach Haven and Ship Bottom (morning) and on the mainland in Manahawkin and Waretown. Most camps are ages 5-13, with age 4 and 14 appropriate for some locations. See note about ages below. Our camp is NOT for advanced players, eg. those who regularly compete.
At all camps: Children will develop and improve basic tennis strokes, ball judgment, racquet control and footwork while playing fun and engaging games. Our programs are based on the USTA Net Gen model which is designed so kids can progress in developing their strokes and an all-court game with balls they can hit more often, on courts they can cover. This includes building competencies with slower, lower bouncing balls, smaller courts and kid-sized racquets- all leading to good technique, success, and lots of fun!
Red (foam or felt), orange and/or green balls will be used. Children will be grouped by age/skill and the appropriate ball based on age/skill and goal of the activity will be used. Movement and coordination skills also benefit other sports. Racquets are available for use.
REGISTRATION: When registering, you will be asked to login with USTA account or to create one. This is free. For camps, you can pay with credit card or choose pay Offline.
