Cincinnati Kids Tennis Camp – University of Cincinnati

There’s Nothing Like Tennis!

Yellow Ball Tennis Camp has been producing superior tennis camps in Ohio since 2000. The 2009 season represents a year of rapid expansion for us, so we’re delighted to announce our first ever camp at University of Cincinnati.

Our week long tennis camps welcome children ages 8 to 18, and we offer both half-day and full-day programs. From novice to advanced, Yellow Ball Tennis Camp adapts to meet the needs of all skill levels. Each camper submits a Player Profile prior to the camp session, which provides us with everything we need to know to maximize that player’s camp experience.

Regardless of their skill level when they arrive at Yellow Ball Tennis Camp, by the end of the week they have a totally different outlook.

Novice tennis players will learn all the basic fundamentals of the sport so that by the end of the week, they will know how to play a match and keep score. But more importantly, 99% of the time they’re hooked on tennis for life!

Advanced players who are already working with a coach can expect to focus on the finer points of the game. We ask parents to put us in contact with their child’s primary Tennis Professional so that we can collaborate for maximum results. Even tournament players come away from Yellow Ball Tennis Camp seeing significant improvements that bring them closer to their best game.

Yellow Ball Tennis Camp also takes a unique approach to competition with our “2on2” Challenge. This daily event originally came out of the need to elevate the overall level of competition in elementary and high school. It’s a fun way for campers to improve singles and doubles match play, and also emphasizes the benefits of teamwork. For more information on this program, visit the “2on2” Challenge page of our website.
