Stuff for Kids
Tennis
No need to keep the racquet down with Edinburgh Leisure this year. With so much tennis on they’ll have a ball developing their game and meeting loads of new friends. There is lots on offer for all levels of players from tots to teenagers with coaching from fully qualified instructors and, at over three different sites there is bound to be something near you. The holiday activity can vary from week long courses, to half day and full day camps.
Tennis camps
Craiglockhart offer 3 different Tennis Camps, which run from Monday to Thursdays and assuming the rain stays away, will be played on the outdoor clay courts. Players are asked to bring suitable clothing, 2 pairs of trainers, a sun hat, sunscreen, snacks and plenty to drink.
Active Kids & RAW tennis camps
These are half day camps for all playing standards. The Active Kids Camp is for children P4 – P6, and the RAW Tennis Camps are for the older S1 – S6 age group. The camps provide coaching in the fundamental skills required for playing tennis successfully, while also developing the technical, tactical, mental and physical areas of the game.
Advantage camps
The Advantage Camps are designed to deliver more intensive coaching and match play practice. These Camps are open to players who already take part in our term time coaching programme – Green: level 2, Silver and Gold: Level 2-4, they are also open to regular club or county players.
The camps will be held primarily on the outdoor courts (if the rains stays away) and will include coaching work, basket drills and video analysis to develop the tactical, technical, mental and physical aspects of the game. This is a full day camp and players will need to bring a packed lunch with them.
