I LOVE running tennis camps. Here’s a video of our recent camps………………
I’m not quite sure how long I’ve been running them for – something like 10-15 years in the current format, with a few minor tweaks along the way. And they really do work well – we run them almost every day of every school holiday, get great numbers, happy children and great feedback from parents.
This was an email that I received, unprompted, after our recent camp:
Just a quick note to say a very well deserved well done for the kids Tennis Camps this week. It was the first time the children had attended, I stayed for the duration and I think the attention to detail with the organising was exceptional. All coaches gave their all, and across the courts there was continuous laughter from the children which was delightful to hear.Very professional coaches with a natural caring ability for the different ages and stages of development. Thank you, both children had a great time and I will surely be recommending these camps within my circles. Thank you and a huge well done.
Way back in 2011, I started writing down a kind of instruction manual, mainly for me and my team, but it turned into an 80-page ebook.
More recently, in 2020, I completely re-wrote the ebook and brought it up to date. It now includes all the things that always worked, plus loads more tips, tricks and lessons that I’ve learned along the way.
