USTA Florida is pleased to announce that the Racquet Club of Cocoa Beach and Play Tennis Gainesville will host youth summer camps beginning Monday, June 29, 2020. The camps will closely follow safe play guidelines at each facility to ensure the safety of all camp participants.
“Participant safety is paramount at USTA Florida junior summer tennis camps,” said Frank Swope, USTA Florida Director of Tennis Management. “We have redesigned our camps and classes to limit group size and incorporate social distancing, added no-touch ball pick-up protocols, and restructured break time and cleaning regimens. We are entirely focused on our players being able to safely enjoy their experience.”
The summer camps will run for six weeks at both facilities. The Racquet Club of Cocoa Beach will host one camp for juniors ages 8 & above, while Play Tennis Gainesville will host two separate camps for ages 6-10 and ages 11-17 at the Joyce Oransky Tennis Center (Westside Park). Camp participants will learn the fundamentals of tennis in a fun environment, supervised by USPTA Certified Professionals.
“We hope to provide a welcoming, safe environment for juniors to learn and play tennis, enjoy time outside, get some exercise and have fun,” explained Swope.
