Armonk Tennis Camp
  The Tennis Program is individually designed to methodically challenge players of all levels and ages, 6 - 15. Throughout the week, campers will be encouraged to enhance their strokes and strategies via group lessons, skill building drills, organized play, individual attention, video sessions, target training, fitness routines and more.  All campers are carefully grouped by the tennis director based on skill level and age. Each camper will be thoroughly evaluated during the week and a detailed progress report will be sent home at week's end.

Beginners and Advanced Beginners - The emphasis will be on fundamental stroke production and consistency. Campers will learn the correct mechanics of each stroke, proper court position and movement, and sound strategies for future growth and development.  All of the basic techniques will be constantly reinforced through fun games, singles and doubles play, coordination exercises, and team competitions.

Intermediate and Advanced Players - Routines are specifically designed to improve and strengthen strokes to produce more reliable and effective results. Repetitions are practiced to build total self confidence and muscle memory.  Physical and mental toughness will be combined with advanced strategies for singles and doubles point play and match play.

High School and Tournament Players will work on physical conditioning, mental toughness and match play. They will be encouraged to play in USTA tournaments also. An emphasis will be placed on stroke production, power, intensity, focus, and match play skills. We prepare players to move up to the next level on a team or in the rankings.
