Yellow Ball Tennis Camp at
Xavier University
Xavier University
This year marks the launch of Yellow Ball Tennis Camp at Xavier University. After 9 years of successful tennis camps in Ohio, we’re excited to add the beautiful Xavier campus to our roster.
Our goal at Yellow Ball Tennis Camps is to create the best possible tennis camp experience for kids ages 8 to 18. And we know we have the formula right, because we have campers coming back year after year!
From novice to advanced, players find there is something unique and valuable to be gained during our one week tennis camp. The program is flexible and designed to adapt to the needs of each individual. To help us do this effectively, we ask each camper to submit a Player Profile prior to arrival, which provides us with information about skill level and personal goals. With this background data, we’re able to fully maximize that player’s camp experience from the first serve.
Beginners will be instructed in all the fundamentals of tennis. By the end of the week, they’ll be able to play a match and keep score. And the safe bet is we’ve got them hooked for life!
Advanced players can expect coaching that focuses on the finer points of the game. We ask parents to put us in contact with the primary Tennis Professional working with their child. By collaborating with this coach, we achieve significantly greater improvement throughout the week by reinforcing their current practice plan.
No matter the skill level of the camper when they arrive at Yellow Ball Tennis Camp, they leave with a whole new outlook and demonstrate impressive results.
It’s our belief that competition should be enjoyable at all levels, so we’ve created a feature called the Yellow Ball Tennis Camp “2on2” Challenge. It’s a fun, daily event that focuses on improving both singles and doubles match play in a team format. For more information on this program, check out the “2on2” Challenge page.
