Adult Weekend Tennis Camp

There's Nothing Like Tennis!

Yellow Ball Tennis Camps has been producing superior summer tennis camps in Ohio since 2000. But Yellow Ball Tennis Camp isn't just for kids! Adults are invited to join us for a unique weekend getaway at Five Seasons Family Sports Club in Westlake, Ohio filled with intense tennis, fun and relaxation. Elevate your tennis to a new level by taking concentrated group and private lessons with our certified Tennis Professionals who design a program tailored to fit your needs. Improve your match play through our singles and doubles strategy and tactics clinics and team tennis format. Regardless of your experience or skill level, you'll definitely see improvement in just one weekend with the dedicated staff at Yellow Ball Tennis Camp.

Bring your spouse, a few friends or even your whole USTA Team. Remember how much fun summer camp was when you were a kid? Well, Yellow Ball Tennis Camp takes fun to a new level for adults!

Feel free to "commute" to camp or stay at the Holiday Inn Westlake, just minutes from tennis courts. This pleasant facility provides plenty of room to stay with a group, and features a comfortable bar and lobby for lounging and relaxing together from your day on the court. Either way, you're in for a delightful, relaxing weekend of tennis and a chance to focus on improving your game in a fun, adult-oriented environment.

We kick off our first evening of camp with a Wine and Cheese Party - a perfect way to relax and enjoy the camaraderie of new tennis friends. Saturday evening is a "Shot of the Day" Party at a location to be announced, and Sunday morning we end the weekend with special awards and Team Tennis Playoffs.
