adidas Tennis Camps Announces 2011 Summer Camp Schedule Including Five New Locations











Get Better This Summer!


(Vocus/PRWEB) February 25, 2011

One of the summer tennis camps leaders adidas Tennis has published their 2011 summer tennis camp schedule. Over 2,000 tennis players attend these camps annually to get better, make friends, and have fun. Overnight and day tennis camps are offered.

The adidas Tennis Camps have a unique balance between instruction and match/point play at their camps, providing campers with the opportunity to learn new skills while also gaining important match experience. University of Wisconsin Head Men’s Tennis Coach Greg Van Emburgh, former professional tennis player and adidas Tennis Camps Director for the UW Madison tennis camp, says “summer tennis camp provides a great opportunity for each player to improve their individual skills in a learning environment that is both fun and challenging.”

Tennis is considered by many to be the “sport of a lifetime.” We try to give our campers an amazing experience with both learning and fun that makes them want to continue to play the sport for years to come. Many coaches appreciate the role that camp plays in the development of individual junior tennis players. The repetition that each person received while at camp really helps to create the proper habits on the tennis court. As adidas Tennis Camps President Charley Biggs stated, “Our goal is to make sure each camper learns the proper technique for all strokes and leaves camp with a greater confidence in their tennis game.” As the adidas Tennis Camps have grown, we have found it necessary to add more sessions at most of our locations to accommodate our families desire to attend multiple weeks.

Interested prospective campers can learn more about the adidas Tennis Camps and view the 2011 tennis camps schedule at http://www.tenniscamper.com.

The adidas Tennis Camps are a division of eCamps, Inc. eCamps is a nationally recognized provider of summer sports camps. Other camps include the GameBreaker Lacrosse Camps, Revolution Field Hockey Camps, Revolution Softball Camps and International Squash Academy.

In addition to children’s weight loss camps, Shane also offers an adult weight loss program in New York, Shane Diet Resorts.

Every child at Camp Shane is treated as part of our family, and our dedication has helped us become the most recognizable brand for children’s weight loss camps.”

It is a well-known resort area, surrounded by beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, and a colorful culture. Popular tourist destinations include vineyards, zoological gardens, hiking, water sports, beaches, and Stearns Wharf.
