Siblings together
Both camps run the same afternoon on separate courts.

- Live match play and tournament-style drills
- Teamwork, sportsmanship and a competitive mindset

What parents ask first.
What if my kid has never played before?
Most campers are brand new. Coaches start at the very beginning (grip, stance, rules), and by the end of the week your kid will be playing real points.
What ages do you take?
Lil Dinkers is for ages 5–9 and Junior Academy is for ages 10–14. Both run at the same time on separate courts with their own coaches, so siblings in different age groups can come together. Within each camp we also group by skill, so younger or newer players aren’t trying to keep up with older or more experienced ones. Right at the age cutoff? Contact us to talk it through.
How big are the camps?
Each camp caps at 32 kids, with two to three coaches running the session. We turn sessions away rather than oversell, so book early once dates are published.
What should they bring?
A water bottle and athletic shoes. Loaner paddles are available, and full-summer campers receive their own JOOLA paddle as part of the gear bundle.
What’s the cancellation policy?
Cancel 30 or more days before the start of your week for a full refund. 14–29 days before: a 50% refund or full credit toward a different week. Inside 14 days: credit only, no cash refund.
How is camp different from Kids Academy?
Camp is half-day (three hours), Monday to Thursday, in summer only, and open to younger kids. Kids Academy is the school-year program for ages 11 and up: 90 minutes, twice a week (Mon & Wed, 4:30–6 PM), as a full-season progression.
