 Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Are all of your camps overnight camps?
A. No, only our Traditional Camps and the Match Play Camp are for overnight campers. All of our camps are open to day campers.
Q. My child is a Super Champ player. Which camp would be best for him/her?
A. That is really a personal choice. Our Pre-Tournament Camp (May 31-June 3) is an excellent way to get ready for the Summer Grand Slam, while our Match Play Camp (July 17-21) is a great opportunity to get ready for the end of the summer tournaments, as well as school tryouts. Our Traditional Camps would be great as well. We divide the kids into specific groups based on ability, so give them the best training experience possible.
Q. Our child is interested in becoming a day camper at one of the Traditional Camps. What is the schedule for them?
A. Check-in runs from 11 a.m. to Noon on the opening day (usually Sunday). We head to the courts for a few hours for an evaluation of the players. During the rest of the week, camp runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the day campers, although we are usually done by 4 on the final day.
Q. Do you have anything for younger campers?
A. Yes, we have our QuickStart Camp (June 27-July 1). During this week, you can choose between either the 8:30-10:00 or 10:30-Noon class. These classes are ideal for the beginning 5-9 year old. We have also added half day sessions (8:00-11:30) to our Day Camps (July 25-August 12).
Q. What is QuickStart exactly?
A. QuickStart is a play format developed by the USTA along with others within the tennis industry. QuickStart uses "right-sized" equipment, including racquets, balls and courts. Think about it- soccer and baseball both start kids out on appropriate sized fields, with appropriate sized equipment. Now tennis is following suit. We size the court down to 36' or 60' (opposed to a regular 78' court) and use foam and decompressed balls. We also use a play format vs. just feeding balls out of a basket. This allows kids to immediately start playing tennis and creates an early love of the game. For more information, please check out www.10andundertennis.com
Q. When and where do we check-in?
