SUMMER TENNIS

WE LOVE TENNIS IN THE SUMMER!

At the Lane – Stark Tennis Center, tennis runs all summer long with both junior and adult summer camp opportunities. Summer camps are now open for registration! Non-members are always welcome to join us for summer camps!

JUNIOR SUMMER CAMPS

Whether your child is picking up a racket for the first time or already competing in tournaments, Lane-Starke Tennis Center's summer camps are designed to meet players where they are — and push them further.

Camps are organized by age and skill level so every participant is appropriately challenged. Beginners build a solid foundation in tennis fundamentals, while more experienced players focus on point-play, strategy, fitness and other components needed for continued success in competitive match play.

 

As the area's only dedicated tennis facility, Lane-Starke Tennis Center offers training on both indoor and outdoor courts — so weather is never an obstacle. No membership required. Just experienced coaches with a focus on skill development and having fun. Make it a summer your child won't forget!

 

General camp Info: Tennis club membership is not required for summer camp enrollment. Athletic clothing, water bottle, and non-marking shoes (tennis/court/gym shoes - no cleats) are required. Bring your own tennis equipment, or we have a selection of demo racquets available for use.
