Academy Camps offers coed summer tennis camps for boys and girls in Connecticut. These are overseen by Symeon Siomopoulos, a veteran of the international and US tennis scene who boasts a long list of coaching credentials.
He was also a successful junior tennis player during his formative years. Currently an American College of Greece professor of Sports Psychology (he holds a Masters and PhD), Siomopoulos now devotes his summers to tennis coaching in America.
Academy Camps tennis coaching stands out because it extends beyond mere match-play. Instead, there's a dedication to developing youngsters' skills via small group and individual sessions, as well as playing matches. Campers also participate in activities throughout their day that include additional sports, adventure, and social events.
Book your child into Academy Camps for help on improving their skills in serves, footwork, strokes, returns, speed, breathwork, visualization, and strategy. Sessions last for one or two weeks for rising 5th to rising 10th graders.
Academy Camps tennis training takes place at The Hirschmann Tennis Complex in Suffield, Connecticut. Overnight accommodation is included for the duration. This facility offers ten hard courts, performance and wellness centers, and indoor swimming pool situated just two hours drive from New York City and Boston and 3 miles from Bradley International Airport.
