Walla Walla and Whitman Winter Tennis Camp

Hi all,

As the holidays approach, I am so excited for the new year.  For the fifth year in a row, the Whitman Women's Tennis team will offer our winter after school camp Jan 7-11th!

We have the camp split into 3 groups.  Each day from 3:30-4:45  we'll have a quickstart camp.  This is for 10 and under players who are working up to playing on a full tennis court with yellow tennis balls.  This format allows us to have a ton of fun in a group setting with an emphasis on learning and developing shots.

The 5-7 session will have both Beginner to Intermediate players on the full court, while at the same time, we'll run our academy sessions.  The academy sessions will push players who are playing high school or tournament tennis to the next level.  Both will use drills, games and competitive play to enjoy a week of improved tennis!  All camps are directed by Whitman Head Coach John Hein and will take place indoors at Whitman in the Bratton Tennis Center.  You can sign up at the city of Walla Walla Park and Rec office or website.

Many of the top Whitman players are coming to coach, and all have great experience coaching all levels and age groups.  This is a 'camp' so the sessions are progressive and the feel of the week is wonderful.

Cost for the quickstart session is $55 and for the full court sessions, it is $75, a T shirt is included.

Please share this with your friends and schools, we want to see lot of people enjoying this wonderful sport.

See you in the new year!

Fall Drop in Tennis at Whitman!

Hello tennis lovers!

As the leaves fall to the ground, its that time to get the tennis rackets out or borrow some of ours and PLAY TENNIS!!!

We've got Quickstart (smaller court format) for ages 4-10 (or 11/12 year olds who are still working on getting comfortable at full court or are just learning).

We've also got full court tennis for anyone 10-18.  We'll separate out groups by ability and age.   We've got a great lineup of coaches with each session led by Whitman Women's Team Head Coach John Hein or Assistant Coach Emily Rolston along with a very experienced and talented staff of Whitman players.

Sessions run for the next 4 weeks - Oct 22nd to Nov 15th from 3:30-4:15pm at the Bratton Tennis Center at Whitman.

Each session is $5 at the door and no signup is required.  We can cater to groups of 4 or more who would like sessions on different days.

LET'S COMPETE. RIGHT HERE IN W2!

That's right folks, its the annual USTA (United States Tennis Association) summer tournament at Whitman.  The Subway State Games of WA is hosted by Coach Jeff at Whitman and has skill divisions for novice (first tournament) players, challenger (getting into match play but haven't won lots of matches or a tournament at the level) or Champs (more experienced tournament players playing for ranking points).  Age groups are 10-18 and this is a sanctioned tournament, so the entrant must be a USTA member (a GREAT thing to have).

If you have questions before the entry deadline of TOMORROW (Sat 6/30) at 11:59pm, please contact Coach John, otherwise contact coach Jeff, or signup online at:
http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome_New/Tournament.aspx?T=119449

You can also try emailing Coach Jeff (coach@whitman.edu) after Saturday to see if he can take any late entries (which is likely).

Age groups and skill levels may be combined in small draws and there will be lots of fun and competitive tennis right here in our backyard, join us!
