welcome!

Greetings Parents and Guardians,

Thank you for considering our tennis camp. TenniswithD efforts started in 2009 with 2 campers! The spirit has not changed, 1 or 2 campers, camp is on! Our priority is developing the individual; tennis happens to be our mode of sharing life lessons like completing a task, working in a group, developing friendships, handling wins and losses, discipline, responsibility, accountability, tenacity, drive among other life serving attributes.

FUN

We package tennis fundamentals into fun games. The players naturally achieve a convincing level of tennis ability because they are guninely having fun!

We just so happen to prioritize good tennis form and technique in the process. As such, our campers by the end of the week, will have the makings of a tennis stroke resembling the boys and girls we see on TV, within their reasonable ability and capacity.

The TenniswithD Advantage:

We have designed a personalized tennis lesson within a camp scenario.

  • We have limited spaces, effectively, this benefits our campers
  • We value the one-one time spent on a player
  • This promotes more opportunities for our tennis players to hit more tennis balls Players develop their tennis game, have fun, excercise and gain new friendships.

Our program is determined to make valuable contributions in tennis as well as the community we serve in. We go out of our way to use progressive methods to develop tennis players who are legitimate contenders in a tennis competition. The dynamics of our drills, and games are designed to give the one-one feel within the group context. We do encourage parents and players to come and experience “a day in camp” with us to get an idea of how it works. We are determined to break out of the traditional tennis lesson, in response to the FAQ “what is the student teacher ratio” as developing tennis players requires a lot more that “low ratios”.
