USTA TENNIS PROGRAM

Camp Cayuga operates a top quality Tennis Program under the directorship of a USTA Tennis Professional. Cayuga is a proud member of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and its Program meets the standards and follows the guidelines set forth by the USTA.

INSTRUCTION & PRIVATE LESSONS
Tennis lessons from beginner to advanced skill levels are offered daily. Our instructors are assigned between 2 to 5 campers per lesson. The activity period includes a mix of instructional time and recreational time. For the more serious tennis player, one-on-one private lessons are available with our Tennis Pro or one of his qualified assistants. The Private Tennis Lesson Program is not part of the normal activity program and incurs an additional charge. Advance registration is required. The Registration Form for Private Tennis Lessons can be retrieved off the “Camp Forms” webpage or click here.

TENNIS CENTER
Cayuga’s Tennis Center features 10 hard-surfaced courts that were constructed in 1998 and remain in excellent condition. Top quality racquets (you can bring your own) are provided, as well as ball machines for assisting with instruction.

STAFF
Cayuga’s Tennis Program is directed by Joe Manning who has been a head high school tennis coach for over 20 years. Joe received the Coach of the Year award 3 times in Arkansas. As a player, he has been ranked in the top position for singles & doubles in the USTA on the state level. In Texas he was ranked #3 in 4.0 singles and #2 in doubles. Joe has been Cayuga’s USTA Tennis Pro since 2001. Cayuga’s tennis staff is comprised of 8 to 10 instructors who provide top-notch instruction under the guidance of our Tennis Pro. All instructors are university-level players who have experience teaching tennis to children. Prior to opening day the instructors are evaluated, trained, and qualified by our Tennis Director.
