Tennis Camps

Youngsters who want to learn or improve their tennis skills can attend one of three free summer soccer camps offered by the Parks Department's Play Time Recreation and the Just Us Tennis Foundation.

Tennis Camp is a seven-week program.

Tennis camps will be held in three city parks. The camps run from June 15 through July 30 at Fairground, Willmore and Carondelet Parks. Boys and girls ages 7 to 15 can participate in the camps regardless of their experience playing tennis.

Instructors from Just Us Tennis Foundation will provide skill building and teach the basics of tennis games. The focus of the tennis camp is to have fun while working on skills such as serving, forehand strokes and the art of the backhand stroke.

Racquets and balls will be available for use on site.

Tennis camps are free but enrollment limited to 40 youths at each camp.

Camps will be held:

Tennis South: 6 - 7:30 p.m. Monday/Wednesday (Willmore Park)
