SF Tennis Kids Club

Meals

Camp families are responsible for providing lunch, snacks, and a refillable water bottle for their child each day. The camp’s schedule includes snack and lunch breaks, and staying hydrated is emphasized due to the physical activity. What to pack consists of a healthy lunch, water, maybe extra snacks, and sun-protection items like hats and sunscreen.

Safety

SF Tennis Kids Camp places strong emphasis on safe, age-appropriate instruction. Coaches and instructors follow a progressive teaching model: younger children use smaller courts, lighter balls, and smaller rackets — reducing risk and making the game developmentally suitable. As children progress, equipment scales up. This thoughtful structure supports safe learning and builds confidence.

Sessions are structured, with warm-ups and cooldowns, and likely supervised hydration breaks to support camper well-being. Age-based grouping helps ensure that coaching and play remain balanced. The camp’s policy on equipment and scaled instruction reduces injury risk while enabling children to develop skills at their own pace.

Camp Traditions

SF Tennis Kids Summer Camp carries forward a tradition of making tennis accessible, fun, and social for kids. Regular progression through age-appropriate levels — from “little champions” on 36-foot courts with red balls to full-court play — is a longtime hallmark of the program. This structure gives kids a sense of growth and achievement over time.

Many returning families appreciate the familiar rhythm: morning lessons or drills, snack breaks, matches or games, and social time with peers. For kids, the camp becomes more than tennis — a place to make friends, build confidence, and return year after year as their skills grow.

The SF Tennis Kids Summer Camp is designed to grow players from first swings to confident rallies — with structured learning, fun drills, and progressive development. Camp begins with fundamentals: movement, balance, coordination, and basic stroke mechanics. As kids build confidence, they advance to groundstrokes, volleys, serves, and eventually match play on larger courts. The program emphasizes technique, footwork, teamwork, and game strategy — all while keeping things fun and age-appropriate.

For younger campers, time is spent mastering coordination, hand-eye skills, and love of the sport. Older or more experienced children engage in regular rallying, match practice, and drills focused on shot variety and positioning. Throughout the week, coaches guide children through a clear progression, letting each camper advance at their own pace while building confidence and enjoyment.
