Camp Information
Weekly Beginner/Intermediate Kid’s Clinics
(Fall and Spring Semester programs)
Do you want your kids to play tennis year-round?
These weekly classes have been held at Rice University for almost 10 years and have been very popular. They are geared towards the beginner and intermediate level players. Players are put into small groups with kids of their own level (and age). This class is ideal for recreational players who want to learn the game and enjoy it. In addition, it is designed for those who are interested in becoming more competitive and who may be looking to enter tournaments or play for their school teams. These sessions also provide your kids with an ideal opportunity to keep up their tennis throughout the year. Kids aged 5-16 are welcome. The class sizes are small to ensure high quality instruction, with a ratio of 1 coach to no more than 4-6 players. Spots are given on a first come, first served basis and the numbers are limited to 12 per session. Please register immediately to avoid disappointment. Questions about these sessions can be directed to shaheen@rice.edu or call the Rice Tennis Office at 713-348-8855.
Champ and Super Champ Training Camps
Are you a serious tennis player looking for a place to train?
Rice University has been breeding excellence in tennis tradition for decades. Our training camps are designed to immerse the city’s budding junior players in a positive, supportive and challenging college environment. The coaching staff comes from all over the world and is comprised of former elite collegiate players as well as touring professionals. All the staff members have had significant coaching experience at every level of the game.
Our mission is to help these junior players develop their games in all aspects including technique, match play, temperament and mental skills, as well as movement and physical conditioning specific to tennis. Players will have the opportunity to train with top quality personal instruction, in an atmosphere of what we call "serious fun". The intensity of high quality drilling and practice is coupled with fun and support from the coaches to create the ideal training environment. This combination provides the best possible opportunity for major development and progress as tennis players and as people.
Training sessions will consist of a variety of drilling covering major stroke production, consistency and footwork. Coaches will also be focused on helping players get more out their shots and ultimately turn them into weapons. While the staff will be working on improving your overall match results, the philosophy is also one of development and skill mastery. Getting more and more out of your shots is a major key to long term success.
Sessions will also include point construction drills as well as match play. There will also be high quality, tennis-specific conditioning sessions built into workouts. Our goal is to help each and every player make major strides to the next level of the game by providing comprehensive attention to each individual. In short, THIS PROGRAM WILL OFFER COACHING...AND NOT MERELY PRACTICE COURTS AND HITTING PARTNERS. If you have questions about the nature of this program, please feel free to contact us at shaheen@rice.edu or by phone at 713-348-8855.
