Introduce Kids to Tennis with Summer Camps!
Tennis Camps have started, but are offered all summer long. We have both a morning outdoor camp and an afternoon indoor camp. Our camps are a fantastic way for your child to get introduced to the sport of tennis. It generally caters to those with little or no experience. Instruction of basic strokes, the structure of the court, and scoring are touched on during the week and are exercised through lots of fun drills and games.
Check out our Summer Camp Schedule and call Owl Creek at (757) 385-2695 to register!

Many of you have asked why the additional lines have been added to six of our courts at Owl Creek Tennis Center. These new 60 foot, blue lines allow children age 10 and under to play on a shorter court with slower bouncing balls, allowing them to pick up playing the game more easily. In addition, the USTA passed new rules last year mandating the use of the shorter courts and slower balls for all sanctioned 10 and under events.
