Youth activities 287-1323 Birthday Parties Play Parties 3 4-year-olds The imagination of a child is infinite, and we can plan almost any theme your 3 4-year-old child can imagine. We use the Play Center as our backdrop with all of the fun toys for both boys and girls. We decorate according to your child s theme and ideas, add in a moon bounce, and voila! Play Parties are not only fun for the child and his or her friends, but for parents as well. All parties are supervised with at least two CCV staff members who will ensure a day your child will not forget. Birthday Parties 5 years and older Looking for something a little different this year? Tired of birthdays all seeming to be the same? We can provide a different kind of party atmosphere for your child. Imagine a Star Wars party where your child and all of his friends go on an adventure to take down Darth Vader and destroy the Death Star once and for all... or a rock star party where your child and her guests will dress and impress with their own unique karaoke and dance routines. Each party is staffed with CCV s very own party planners. We are here to cater to your child s ideas. The possibilities are endless. If you can imagine it, we can do it! d 3

Ace Program Days and times to be announced The ACE program is designed to provide tournament-playing juniors and those on school teams access to extensive training to help them grow as competitors. The program is only available to juniors who have shown advanced skills and are motivated to improve in all areas of competition including stroke technique, tactics, mental game, physical conditioning, and nutrition. These juniors are in the program because they have aspirations of playing on their middle or high school eams and achieving Virginia state and Mid-Atlantic rankings. The highest goal would be to play tennis at the collegiate level and beyond. Juniors who have reached this level in the past have done so with 100% commitment to constantly improving their games.
