Join us on our 15 beautiful courts on Evanston’s lakeside campus. We provide top-notch personalized instruction in a positive, inspirational environment. We work to develop your child’s game, give them confidence, and let them see measurable improvement in their skills. We strive for every player to have an amazing experience, to truly love the game and have FUN! All ages and levels are welcome and campers are separated accordingly. We try to accommodate all friend requests. Generally we have four main groups of campers:
Beginners
Intermediates
Mid Intermediate to Advanced Intermediates
Advanced
Camp Structure
Most weeks consist of a morning session from 9am-noon, and an afternoon session from 1-3pm. Participants may register for a half day or a full day session. Full day campers will eat a supervised lunch from 12-1pm and have time to relax or play more tennis. A typical camp day looks like this:
9am: warm up
9:15: fun agility and hand-eye coordination work
9:30: drills and games working on theme of the day
10:30: snack break for 8 and under
11:30: competitive games; point play and set play for older campers
noon: pick up for morning campers; lunch for full day campers
A shorter variation of the morning structure will occur in the afternoon, though drills and activities will be different. Also, please know that this is a broad outline of a camp day; little ones will be playing a lot more games, taking more water breaks, etc. than the older kids!
Rain Days
We will hold camp at the Combe Tennis Center on rainy days. If it is raining at drop-off time you may go directly to the indoor courts. If you are not sure, always best to stop by the outdoor courts to double check. We will have a sign posted and staff directing campers and parents if we are indoors. We try to stay outdoors as much as possible.
Miscellaneous
Water and Gatorade is provided at camp, and while we do have regularly scheduled drink breaks, campers are always encouraged to stop and take a break when needed.
A certified trainer is on site at all times at camp. If your child has any medical issues or allergies please let the trainer know.
Morning campers are welcome to stay for supervised lunch at no charge as long as we know beforehand. Parents may pick them up anytime between 12-1pm.
Kids should wear athletic clothing, non-marking athletic shoes and bring an age-appropriate tennis racquet. Please make sure you apply sunscreen to your child before camp. Feel free to pack extra in your child’s bag. It is also a good idea to pack a hat, if you child will wear it, and a change of clothes for younger children.
Children age 8 and younger should bring a small, nut-free snack for snack time each day.
