McMurry War Hawks Tennis Camp

The McMurry Tennis Camp is designed to improve the individual players tennis game. We do this by forming groups that are based upon skill level. This allows the instruction to be tailored to the individual themselves.

The camp offers focused court time, various activities, and social hours. The court time will be broken into morning drill sessions and afternoon match play. This will allow the individual to work on a certain aspect of their game, then use it in a real match. Activities from disc golf, private lessons after lunch time, swimming, basketball, and bowling at primetime. On court skill and discussion provides the individual with physical and mental knowledge to prepare them for the future. Various off court activities offer interactive and fun ways for individuals to play and work together that will build forever relationships.
