building a better community and enhancing lives through tennis and education
Tennis Memphis Summer Camps
Our focus is providing a tennis-playing experience that meets all Memphis and USTA recommended health and safety guidelines. To this end, we have paused any programs that invite multiple players out on the courts at one time – including summer camps. As we prepare for new phases and guidelines from local, state and medical leaders, our attention will turn to group programs and the shape they will take moving forward.
Be sure to check this page and our social media for updates.
COVID guideline: distancing, hygiene and sanitation. Mask wearing is optional, as this is an outdoor camp.
Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time, or is already playing competitively, Tennis Memphis has a camp for you!
