Early Development Camps (EDCs) are set up by USTA Northern IL to provide a fun and competitive atmosphere for advanced tennis players ages 8-12.  The immediate goals are to create environments where young athletes can develop and enhance their skills as well as compete in team-based formats to improve their tactical abilities. 

Early Development Camps are designed to provide additional training opportunities for junior tennis players in each District. The camps emphasize fundamentals and overall athletic development. Athletes involved in these camps will have access to fun, educational learning while working on their skills. There is a USTA curriculam, each including a parent presentation, a mental skills theme, WTN Matchplay and a player/coach feedback form that is included in the camp follow-up to each participant’s primary coach and family.

Please note all participants need to be able to serve and rally and keep score.
