Registration for summer camps have now started!!
There are spaces in the final
Part Day tennis camp
Monday 22nd August - Friday 26th August 2011 |
Advantage Tennis Coaching offers a variety of tennis camps.
Full day tennis/sports camps
Children 7 - 12 years of age
The full day camps take a maximum of 16 players so camps are designed for children and youth to receive maximum coaching and learning opportunities. The full day camps are not a “stack ‘em and pack ‘em” style camp where there are lots of kids and not sufficient supervision.
Advantage Tennis Coaching prides itself on offering camps that provide small groups of 1:6 coach to player ratios and an excellent array of activities throughout the day,
Each day we aim to get approx. 4 hours of tennis coaching each day with other days like soccer, handball/basketball which are played indoors on the cement slab of the arena. There is swimming 3 times a week where the kids take a mini bus to the CP pool for a cool down at the end of the day.
The camps are very team oriented with the Davis Cup theme where kids are divided into teams at the beginning of the week and represent a country of their choice. They have to win points for their team by picking up the moist tennis balls, rallying points, winning points in match play and on court fun games. The kids love the Thursday morning “Artifact day” where they bring in artifacts that represent their country. Some kids in the past have done research on the Internet and produced posters that win them the points for their team.
KIds can start the camp no being able to rally a ball over the net and by the end of the week that player could win the most improved player or the best forehand award. All players learn through game -based drills and learn their 5 ball controls of speed, height,distance,direction and spin. Players who have never played the game before really enjoy this camp. Players who have played or are good players really enjoy this camp because the difficulty of drills are increased to meet or improved thier skills. As a tennis pro what I find most satifisying is "watching these kids learn how to use the ball controls in tactical situations then apply it and put together amazing rallies to win the point!"
All in all the full day is a great way to give your kids your kids a week of tennis, fitness and fun throughout the summer.

The part day camps are just as much fun but are not for the whole day. The camps are divided into different age groups so children can learn at their correct level and speed. All camps focus on game-based coaching with the emphasis on the five ball controls of speed, height, distance , direction and spin. Children can start the camp unable to rally a ball and by the end of the week can rally a ball over the net using all 5 ball controls.
