Junior Tennis Camps

 

Download the Summer Tennis Camp Registration Form 2012

KTC Tennis Camps have developed a reputation for being exceptionally safe, fun and effective weekly programs in introducing kids to the great game of tennis, as well as a variety of other sports as they relate to developing important fundamental motor skills useful for tennis. This year we intend to continue this tradition. Jennifer Williams will once again oversee the Junior Camps along with our Assistant Camp Director TBA.

This summer the Tennis Camps will continue with the highly successful Progressive Method we introduced in 2010. This is a fun method that guides the participants to become proficient players more quickly. Jennifer and her instructors will be using this Progressive Method of teaching tennis skills, that will allow younger children (ages 5 to 10) to become more successful more quickly, and eliminate for all participants a lot of the standing around and waiting for the instructor to feed the ball. Look forward to an action-packed and exciting time at the tennis courts this summer!

The camps are available to Juniors aged 5 - 17 and all levels of ability. The Instructors are Tennis Canada Certified and the camps will run rain or shine with alternative indoor activities. There are three different options available, run every week from June 27 through the last full week of August. Each session is limited to 30 entrants, so sign up early to avoid disappointment. A registration form can be downloaded from the link above.
