Tennis Camp

For registration information, go to bottom of this page.

Our Tennis Camp instructor is Coach Tony Simon, who brings over 30 years of professional teaching and coaching experience. He has an enthusiastic style of teaching that inspires his students.  Coach Simon is assisted by local high school and college players. 

Camp sessions consist of fast moving and creative drills/games designed to cultivate an interest in the sport.  Our goal is to develop and enhance tennis skills and lay the foundation for the students to improve their games. We also like our kids to have fun and to spend some time relaxing.  We offer an optional daily swim during the lunch, and we invite all our participants and their parents to join the Camp Ladera kids for a hosted BBQ/lunch Thursday at noon.

We suggest you bring your tennis racket, lunch, hat, swimsuit, and towel. Don't forget the sunscreen. And remember that all players must wear tennis shoes.

Tennis camp is for children entering 2nd through 8th grade. All ability levels are welcome, as students will be evaluated and placed in groups with other players of similar age and ability.  

Camp will be held Monday through Friday from 10:00AM-1:00PM:

10AM-11:30AM
Stroke Development

11:30AM-12:15PM
