2026 Summer Clinics

Middle School (6th-8th)

Middle School Clinic | Development & Point Play

Designed for players with at least basic tennis experience or those ready for a full-length clinic environment. Players will be grouped by ability to ensure appropriate instruction, development, and competitive opportunities.

Each 2.5-hour clinic (10:00 AM – 12:30 PM, Monday–Thursday) follows a structured format including warm-up, technical instruction, drilling (dead and live ball), and point play. Players will develop consistency, improve rallying, and gain confidence applying their skills in real match situations.

This clinic is ideal for players looking to build skills, gain experience, and prepare for school teams or higher-level training opportunities in a structured, coached environment.
