Valter Paiva Tennis Academy Junior Summer Tennis Camp

The Valter Paiva Tennis Academy Summer Tennis Camp is open to players aged 5-18. Everyone from the beginner to the advanced player is encouraged to attend. This is the opportunity for kids to have loads of fun while discovering and enjoying the game of tennis. Values gained by children through the VP Tennis Academy program are: 

  • Enhancement of social and behavioral skills 
  • The learning of positive attitude and good sportsmanship
  • The realization of continual practice to bring greater success
  • Learning that “perfect practice” makes perfect
  • Constant participation develops agility, coordination and fitness
  • Understanding and proper use of rest time and food intake
  • Strong participation improves their tennis skills

We provide instruction for all SKILL LEVELS:
  • Beginning players will be taught the basic fundamentals of tennis.
  • Intermediate players will work on sound development of ground strokes, volleys and the serve.
  • Advanced players will focus on fine tuning their strokes to match their game playing abilities in competitive games

Participants who sign up for a full week receive a t-shirt upon registering. Additional prizes and awards are given out weekly. 

Campers are required to supply their own tennis rackets, sunscreen, water bottle, and appropriate tennis shoes. For players who do not currently own their own racket or appropriate tennis attire, our pro shop has a great selection of junior rackets, shoes and clothing.

Note: Please avoid wearing running or cross-training shoes--especially those with black soles. The soles on these types of shoes mark the courts. Skate and fashion brands like Sketchers, Vans, Circa, DC, Etnies, etc. do not make appropriate court shoes and will not be permitted.
