Junior Tennis Camps

The YMCA tennis program runs during the summer each season. 

Information below is from summer 2007 and should be used as a guideline for our summer offerings. 

 

Summer Tennis Camps are a great way to introduce children to the thrill of playing tennis.  Camps are for juniors of all ages and abilities.  Children will be placed into a group with others of similar ability.  The emphasis will be on fun while also learning correct technique and an introduction to match play and competition.
