Yes.
* Q How many hours per day will I be on the court?
We will have a coach/camper ratio of about 1:3, 1:4. All coaches are outstanding in their fields and there will be opportunities for one on one coaching. Our program focuses on quality of practice over quantity, so on court time is kept to 4/5 hours per day maximum. The number of campers is limited to 24 per week to ensure maximum personal attention.
* Q What kind of supervision does the camp offer during the day and night?
Campers are supervised by the camp's counselors constantly. Both coaches and counselors will be housed in the same residence; campers will have counselors with them as they dine, walk between facilities on campus and when they are on outings. During 'rest time' counselors will be close by too.
