Wildwood Club's Information Blog!

The following groups and times will be offered from August 15th, 2011 through May 17th, 2012. Placement into groups will be determined by the Tennis Director and Junior Development Staff based on age, ability and desire of the players.

THE COMPETITIVE EDGE COLLEGE PROGRAM

These groups are for junior tennis players competing in USTA state, sectional and national tournaments, and already highly ranked in Tennessee.

There will be a lot of time devoted to correct modern technique, entrance shots, patterns of play, and developing the correct mental focus to compete at a high level. Many of the drills and games will be played under pressure to simulate tournament conditions. Each day we will work on specifics needed to improve the group.

There will be an on court conditioning program each day, video analysis when necessary, plus ongoing evaluations for parents and players. Competitive data will be taken throughout the month and used to map out future areas of need for each individual player. Tournament competition and challenge matches are mandatory.

This group will move indoors in November. Indoor court time during the winter for this group is free on a space available basis for additional practice.

Ball machine will also be available at no extra charge. 

Level and attitude will determine acceptance into these groups and they are by invitation only.

A full week of tennis, swimming, and much more!! The philosophy of the camps is that games are fun; and that the fun comes from hitting the ball; not from winning and losing. We try to have as much fun as possible, while learning to enjoy the game of tennis in a supportive environment. We will promote skill development and team play, and want every child to leave the camp feeling like a winner. Campers receive lunch everyday at the grill, or can bring their own lunch, and should bring a swimsuit, a hat, and sunscreen.

Come on – we want your child to join the fun and be on our team!

DATES: July 25 – 29

TIMES: Monday through Friday, 9:00am – 2:00pm
