FRC’s summer 2010 tennis camps return to John Burroughs School – this year under the direction of Chris Ward, a tennis instructor at Frontenac Racquet Club.

Chris and his staff of prep and college players – some from recent JBS teams – will work with your kids on the vital skills they’ll need to develop into solid high-school players themselves.

That means:

• The right grip for the right shot.
• Getting the racquet back early for every stroke.
• Hitting every stroke the right way, the same way, every time.
• And controlling the ball, the whole time, from backswing to follow-through.

 

Things to know.

Camp is at John Burroughs School, 755 South Price Road, just north of Clayton Road.

Ages: 8-17.

Beginners welcome, as well as every other level; we’ll gear instruction to the needs of the group in any given week.

Schedule: Mon - Fri, 9:30 - noon.

If it rains: Call 314-963-3061 for an update. We’ll reschedule when we can, as soon as we can.

Contact: Call Jana Erb at 314-963-3061. Don’t call the school; the staff gets no information about outside groups – like us – who lease the facilities.

Facilities: The school has bathrooms, water, shade and a telephone we can use.

Bring: A small snack, plenty to drink, a towel, sun/shade accessories. Teens and advanced players should bring two racquets.

Private lessons: Chris is available. Ask about his schedule.

Stringing: 24-hour service, all summer. Just ask!
