The Palisades Tennis Center begins its next camp session next Monday, March 17, and also debuts its new, more structured format. “We have a number of goals this year,” PTC Director Andy McDonnell said. “We want to produce more tennis players. This camp is really geared towards taking kids who have little to no experience on the court and getting them up to speed quickly. Over the years so many kids who have started in the camp have gone on to get college scholarships, win national titles and get into schools they wouldn’t have gotten into because of tennis. The PTC hasn’t focused on all the great things that have happened to the previous generations of kids, but now we have quantified those results and really have baked that into our mission. We want to build tennis players that can use tennis as a lifelong tool for exercise, social skills and fun.” Spring break camps run March 17-28 and will be broken down into two sessions to accommodate community members ages 4-18. The PTC will also be holding morning and evening LiveBall clinics for adults throughout the spring break sessions. Each week, campers will hit balls, play competitive games, build skills and get fit and make new friends. “Nearly every local school has kids signed up now for the spring camp,” Director Thomas Dawson said. “We have never been more prepared to make these kids learn a ton and have a ball.” To sign-up for a camp, call the PTC at (310) 573-1331.
