There’s Nothing Like Tennis!

Our primary goal at Yellow Ball Tennis Camp is to create the most memorable, rewarding week possible. We want our campers to keep coming back again and again! Since 2000, our Ohio tennis camps have been a big success, and we’re proud to be returning to University of Toledo for the second year.

Whether your child is 8 or 18, a girl or a boy, a beginner or a nationally ranked player, Yellow Ball Tennis Camp is the place to go for a week of superior instruction and fun. We know that every player is unique, so we design a program specifically for each individual. We ask that each camper to submit a Player Profile prior to arrival. With these Profiles, we are able to determine each player’s experience level and specific goals for the camp.

Beginning tennis players – even those who might never have picked up a racquet before – are taught all the basic fundamentals of the sport. By week’s end, every camper will know how to play a match and keep score. You’ll be amazed how quickly these children take to the sport with a week of concentrated effort in the fun, non-threatening environment of Yellow Ball Tennis Camp!

And more advanced tournament players have a chance to take their game to the next level. We invite you to submit the name of your child’s primary coach. By collaborating with this coach, Yellow Ball Tennis Camp can achieve even greater improvement, while reinforcing the same instruction your child is experiencing at home.

To ensure that competition remains fun for everyone at every level, Yellow Ball Tennis Camp created an event called “2on2” Challenge™. This fun, daily event is an opportunity for campers to practice both singles and doubles match play, as well as introducing and reinforcing the principles of teamwork. For more information on our “2on2” Challenge, visit our website.
