We know there are many tennis clubs and programs in the area, however, Tennis Central stands alone in the quality, professionalism, care and results of its programs and coaches. Our model brings world-class academy style coaches trained in the European Player Development System directly to you in the convenience of your community. Where most programs have only one quality coach on staff, the entire Tennis Central roster will exceed your expectations.
Tennis Central specializes in accelerated improvement for all ages. Our junior methodology creates a path to competitve excellence and our adult programs are designed to inspire beginners, reactivate former players and bring every player we touch to their full potential. In Arlington we only have programs for kids, but our facilities in McLean, VA and Bethesda, MD have vibrant adult programs.
We don't pick winners. We make them!
Please find the class you are interested in on our website under the "Programs" tab. You will find an 'ENROLL' button for each class/camp that will take you to our online enrollment form. All classes are booked and paid for online.
If your child misses a day of camp it is not possible to make up this missed day during another week.
Minimum Number of registrants policy:
Classes need a minimum number of registrants or the class will be cancelled. Refunds would be issued in that event.
Our experience is that the best recipe for improvement is 2 groups and one private lesson per week.
Unlike most programs that staff their camps with highschoolers, the entire Tennis Central Team is composed of adults with world-class credentials/rankings that have been meticulously vetted and certified. Each of them take your child's improvement very seriously and are always available to discuss progress or help you create an individual plan to further accelerate your child's development.
We recommend that children bring the following to camp every day:
* tennis shoes with socks -- flip-flops, open sandals, close-toe sandals, black-soled shoes are not allowed on the courts.
* tennis racquet -- if your child does not have a racket we can help suggest a racquet that fits their size and level. We are an authorized Babolat dealer so can also order and string the racquet for you.
* hat
* sunscreen
* bottle of water -- they will be able to fill up their water bottles during camp as well.
* snacks -- we will take plenty of breaks, especially as the temperatures rise, so little snacks that are easy to eat (like cut fruit) are great.
* lunch -- the kids will be exerting lots of energy so will need good food to refuel. We will not be able to refrigerate their lunches so, if there is perishable food, consider packing in a small cooler.
* change of clothes
There is no rain cancellation. Campers report to the courts at their normal time and if we are not able to play tennis outside we will continue with our unique rain tennis activities inside the Yorktown High School. Tennis Central's approach values strategy and mental toughness as much as technique and playtime. We believe that the mind and the tennis IQ must be trained in a classroom setting.
We welcome the Rain Breaks as they provide well-needed Brain Breakthroughs.
Pick up closes at 3:15. There is NO aftercare.
