Extremely well organized and safe environment for teenagers to enjoy a few weeks of tennis... (Oxford) It's been a great week at the camp.. We really enjoyed playing tennis and making new friends. The place is amazing!! (Yorkshire) Everything was very good : the location, the coaches, the activities, the food... The tennis level was very high. (Brighton) A tennis holiday that delivered.
