This is a commuter only camp open to players ages four through 1-, who are in the beginning stages of tennis and just learning the basic tennis strokes. The camp runs from 9-11 a.m. and will focus on learning the rules of the game, learning proper technique and having fun. Depending on the age and level of the group, there will be a US Open Orange Ball and foam balls that are appropriate to learn on due to the fact that they won't bound over the kids' heads and don't travel as fast.
Any questions about the camps can be directed toward Audra Anderson at 618-453-5462 or at 618-559-8020.
