Summer Camps 2013

It's that time of the year again to gear up for Seminole High Performance Summer camps! I've been a coach at the camps for two years now, as well as dorm counselor, and I must say, it's a lot of fun and always makes a difference in junior tennis players games. After a day of tennis with a catered lunch break in between, we bring kids home to rest up and then take them out to fun activities during the evenings. This year, we've upgraded the dorms that the players that stay in the dorms will be living at. These dorms are very, very nice, and are in the middle of campus, so are very safe!

The dates for 2013 are below. It is never too early to apply!

High Performance Session #1 - June 16-20

 High Performance Session #2 - June 23-27
High Performance Session #3 - July 14-18

This is information you can find on the Seminole High Performance website. What you don't know is how awesome Ragans Hall apartments are! They are clean, fairly new, and, did I mention, each person has their own bedroom?? It is the greatest way to introduce your junior player to what college is going to be like, and with plenty of supervision that is around the clock. The three meals per day that are served are fantastic, healthy meals that often are catered from local restaurants. 

On-Court Tennis Focus

• High Intensity collegiate style drilling
• Indoor Tennis Training
• Focused individual Instruction
• Competitive Match Play
• Small Group Drilling
• Personalized Goal Setting
• Advanced Fitness training and seminars
• Sports Psychology Training Daily
• Cutting edge tactical training

The coaching staff at SHP is very knowledgeable, made up of previous college tennis athletes and current college tennis coaches like Coach Nick and Coach Dwayne! Not only is the tennis high intensity, fun, and focused, but we also include lots of options that make us stand out from a lot of other camps, including indoor tennis, personalized goal setting, advanced fitness, sports psychology, and tactical training that involves the highest tech gadgets out there, including a cool hand-eye coordination technical tool!

Off-Court Adventures (Nightly Activities)

• Disco Night Bowling and Chili’s Restaurant on Campus Night
• FSU Seminole Reservation(Canoeing, Sand volleyball, swimming, rock climbing)  and BBQ Cookout
• Fun Station (Go-Carts, Mini-Golf, Laser Tag, Arcade) and Pizza Party Night
• Feature Movie and Games Night

Personally, for me this is where the fun is at. I've experienced tons of fun nights with SHP summer camps, and taking the kids to relax at movie night and have fun at Fun Station is always an awesome experience for us dorm counselors as well as for the kids. This year, we're adding to the fun by taking kids out to FSU's reservation and adding other exciting nightly activities that make sure that your junior tennis player gets the best of both tennis and a summer camp fun experience!
