Over the past several years, the In-House Team has allowed players an opportunity to play against other each week, with some coaching during match play. Players would receive a schedule weekly and play with the same or different partners throughout the season based on their preferences.
This year we will make use of the Tencap system. The Tencap System will allow players to see their results and how they are faring against other players and teams. This information will be posted on the web and updated after each week’s match play session. Tencap will also set the team matches in advance so that a schedule will be available for players to see.
Some additional changes to the In-House Team are:
We have provided a day for matches as well as for practice to allow players to prepare for matches and improve their skills. Practices will provide a great opportunity for players to work with partners on skills, as well as technical and tactical play. This stretches the program out over two days. We have added an option for players to particiapte in the match play only aspect of the program or take part in botht he match play and practice portion. Players will be placed with a partner to work with on a regular basis if they prefer. This will provide players with a consistent partner so that they can develop movement as a team and grow together while improving individually.

The camp is open to all level players between the ages of 6 and 18. Beginning campers who attend this program will have an opportunity to learn and develop the proper stroke work and mechanics of tennis by first seeing the strokes demonstrated and then using the strokes and having them critiqued and corrected. Then they will have the opportunity to use what they have learned in a game-like situation. Finally the campers will play points, games and sets to allow them to see the full scope of how the strokes can be applied. Intermediate and advanced campers will have the chance to improve their mechanics through many game based drills along with critiques from our staff. The advanced campers will also spend more time working on the tactics of the game and learning where to be when on the court as well as what shot to hit at certain times and situations.
