Youth Tennis Programs

Quick Start Tennis Camps

Kids want to rally a ball and learn to play with their parents and friends as quickly as possible. Quick Start Tennis gives kids the opportunity to learn quickly in a fun environment. During these one week camps, basic tennis skills will be taught and students will be ready to play tennis faster than every before.

Elementary School Tennis

Kids 7-10 years old play tennis after school in their own gym at Blakely, Odyssey, Ordway and Wilkes during January – March 2009. They meet once a week to play games and learn beginner tennis skills using junior tennis racquets, lower, shorter, nets and foam or low compression balls. The four elementary schools meet for a tournament at the end of March. Having fun is heavily emphasized in this program.

High School Tennis

Tennis at Bainbridge High School is a spring sport. Practices begin in February. Contact Mike Anderson at Bainbridge High School.
