Hope College Camps

Sessions will meet at the West Ottawa High School tennis courts and will last from 10:30 A.M. – 3:30 P.M. They will include on-court drills, tennis specific footwork drills, a weightlifting program specifically designed for tennis, classroom instruction on strategy and mental toughness, and most importantly, competitive matches supervised by the pro staff. The academy will focus on helping player’s grades 7-12 improve their game through match play and will teach the art of competition, not simply striking the ball well.

Levels of Play

· Junior High (Grades 7-8): these players are typically on their middle school teams and have match play experience; tournament experience is preferred but not required.
· High School (Grades 9-12): these players typically play on their high school junior varsity or varsity teams. Tournament experience is preferred but not required; players are expected to play in USTA tournaments.

This is a co-ed academy and all grade levels will run at the same time and follow the same lesson plan. Players will be separated by ability and experience.
