Purchase College (SUNY) a sprawling 300 acre campus located in the heart of beautiful Westchester County offers 14 brand new tennis courts and endless acres of playing and training fields.  As many as four full fields and 12 short sided fields are expertly maintained for daily use. Campers will also utilize 2 indoor gymnasiums, racquetball and squash courts, tumbling room, Olympic indoor swimming pool, video tape analysis room, bowling alleys, and cafeteria.  The campus is easily accessible from Westchester, Rockland, Fairfield and Manhattan.

The Tennis Program is individually designed to methodically challenge players of all levels and ages, 6 - 16. 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.

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 reinforced constantly 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 - We will work to further refine stroke production, power, intensity, focus and match play skills.  We will work diligently to overcome weaknesses so players are ready to move up to the next level on a team or in the rankings.  Campers will also concentrate on physical conditioning, mental toughness, and plenty of match play.
