There’s one month till school is out, so sign up for tennis and activity camp now. Activity Blast will run for 10 weeks and the Tennis Camps will run for nine weeks, missing the week of the Fourth of July.

Sandy's Little Slammers is a program for 5-7-year-olds and involves one hour of court time per day.

Skill Acquisition is for 8-12-year-olds. This program runs for two hours on the court and is followed by lunch and swimming. Afterwards we are back on the courts for more fun games to wrap up the day.

The Elite Academy is for the tournament player, ages 10-18. The program starts at 9 a.m. and wraps up at 2:30 p.m. Stroke production, fitness, tactical training and match play are the everyday essentials to the program.

All three parts of the summer tennis program are limited to 12 participants per week. Sign up now to get a spot. Participants should bring a lunch, swimsuit, towel, water bottle, sunscreen and any extra clothing they might need.

A new part of the program is going to be summer camps for the parents. USPTR Staff Pro Brett Johnson will be coaching an adult program during the same weeks as summer camp for the kids. Mondays and Wednesdays will be the beginner to 3.0 group and Tuesdays and Thursdays will be designated for 3.5 and up. Friday will be a Round Robin for anyone who was signed up for the week. There is a minimum of four needed for each group and a maximum of eight. Come on out and join the fun!

The Tennis Net-work is being constructed and I would like to ask for more help on your part. If you are interested in receiving tennis information via e-mail, please fill out a questionnaire at the Westchase Swim and Tennis Center.

Westchase tennis player Megan Broderick is now playing college tennis at the University of Kentucky. Just recently Megan was named the SEC Freshman of the Week.
She is the only women's tennis player this year to win a SEC award three times. She currently holds a 17-4 singles record. Megan played most of the year at number two singles and has recently moved up to number one, where she has a record of 4-2. Her big weekend where she won her third SEC award came after beating Georgia and Tennessee. Both players were ranked nationally at 52 and 64 respectfully. Check out Megan’s team at ukathletics.com.
