For the summer of 2024, many of the same programs and same times will be done again.  Click on Lakeshore Camp above to sign up.  We will be starting the 6th-12th Grade Academy/Camp on June 3 and starting the 6th Grade and younger groups starting June 10.  Below is what we are  going to run:

All players can come play matches on Friday mornings at home or other schools in the area when we have them.

This year we will have players sign up per week or for the all-summer option.  This will allow us to know the exact number of players each day.  

We will be off the weeek of July 4 so we have 8 weeks fo tennis for the older groups and 7 for the younger groups from June 3-August 1.

We are hosting the Junior Team Tennis District Championships again on July 12!  Get your team together and play with your friends.
