A Plus Junior Training Program (Early Development)
Burke Racquet and Swim Club Summer 2024
This summer, A Plus Tennis is proud to offer three different sessions indoors at Burke Racquet and Swim Club to allow players to strategically target skill development and skill mastery.
Camp Director Steve Hyre along with his coaches will be providing personal attention to technical, physical, strategic and mental training to help campers develop a strong foundation to build their game.
Sessions 1 and 3, our Early Development Camps, offer tennis players the ability to gain a head start on skills development. Using our proven MAP (Movement, Adjustment and Positioning) system, we can help your child develop both tennis and athletic skills that are necessary in the modern game.
Session 2, our Competitive Development Camp, provides players with personal attention to technical, physical, strategic and mental training to help campers compete more efficiently in tournament play/high school tennis. For the past 10 years, our camp has successfully developed juniors from competitive tournament play to the international level. What makes us unique is our focus on developing “your” game. We believe that players will be most successful with a playing style that suits their physical ability, mental characteristics and personality. The camp is designed to prepare a player for tournament/high school team play. It is required that each player is participating or preparing for tournament/high school team play. All players must have prior
