The Second Annual Summer Tennis Day Camps for boys and girls ages 9-17 will be held in June and July at UT Tyler. The five-day camps designed to teach children to play tennis are scheduled for 8 a.m.-5 p.m. June 2-6, June 9-13, June 16-20, July 7-11 and July 14-18. Levels of training will include: Orange Level for beginners, Junior Patriot for intermediate players and Patriot Training for tournament players. The camp curriculum will include many components besides tennis, such as building friendships, having fun, enjoying the great outdoors and learning life skills such as fair play, respect, hard work and patience. “We believe that learning tennis at camp can be a fun and enjoyable experience," said Ken Olivier, UT Tyler head tennis coach. “Although this is a tennis camp, we will participate in other fun activities throughout the week including soccer, Frisbee football, arts and crafts, video games, strategy sessions, fitness and nutrition training, stretching, water games and more. One day we will eat lunch by the lake." Lunch will be catered daily by Subway with a variety of sandwiches for the campers to choose from. Lunchtime will include short, fun, educational talks focusing on nutrition and the importance of exercise. In case of extreme weather, activities will be held indoors. Facilities include an air-conditioned tennis center where campers can go to relax and get out of the sun. Water will be provided on court, and participants will be able to drink regularly throughout the day. The
instructor/camper ratio will average 1:5 or
one instructor for every five campers. For more information call 903-566-7499.
