Warhawk Junior Tennis Camps 2013

Warhawk Tennis 2013

The Warhawk Junior Tennis Camps are known as some of the best tennis camps in the Midwest. They are intended for players between the ages of 12–18. These camps prepare campers for high school and tournament play by focusing on mental toughness and strategy. Each camp is broken into six different levels from intermediate to state ranked tournament players, so there is fun for everyone. Bring a friend or doubles partner to add to the enjoyment.

UW-Whitewater Facilities

The camp takes place on UW-Whitewater’s outdoor lighted 12-court tennis complex, and 12 more neighboring courts. The University also has 4 indoor courts that are occasionally available in the beautiful new fieldhouse. The fieldhouse also has a state-of-the-art training room, weight room and pool, which are all available for use by the campers. The residence halls house two campers per room. Campers are expected to furnish their own bedding. The dining center offers three daily all-you-can-eat meals for the campers.

Additional Activities

Night activities are the highlight of this camp. Every night we conclude with the ever popular High Intensity, which is a series of high energy drills with music. Prior to High Intensity, the camp offers a variety of evening activities including tennis tournaments and a talent show. If you have a skill, talent or skit, be prepared to show it off. Bring your instrument, humor or personality to join in the fun or just watch.

Reminders

Do not wear brand new shoes to camp without breaking them in first. Blisters are often a problem considering the long days of tennis in the hot sun. So play plenty of tennis prior to camp to prepare yourself.

Do not plan on playing in outside tournaments during the week at camp or leaving early. We play plenty of tennis and need specific numbers, so plan on staying with us the entire week. We have a full service pro shop for stringing, grips, shoes, hats, rackets and clothing.

How to Avoid Blisters

Many campers experience painful blisters on their feet and racket hand due to poor preconditioning . We strongly recommend that campers DO NOT BRING NEW TENNIS SHOES without adequately breaking them in first. To alleviate muscle soreness, we suggest that campers play at least one hour per day for a week to two weeks before attending camp. If court time is not available, jumping rope, jogging and sprinting can help to precondition aspiring players.

Blisters and soreness can inhibit much of the enjoyment and satisfaction that campers should experience during their stay, and we hope our campers will heed our advice by preparing themselves for six to eight hours of tennis daily throughout their stay.

Insurance

Each camper will be covered by a limited accident insurance policy. The cost of insurance is included in the registration fee. Precautions will be taken to prevent any accidents, and there will be camp health supervisors available. The insurance includes primary insurance coverage up to $1000, secondary coverage up to $5000 and $300 maximum dental insurance. (Insurance does not cover pre-existing injuries and is for camp-related accidents only.)
