The object of the Brady Tennis Camp is to have fun while learning the game of tennis. The Bradys feel the experience one gains with the enjoyment of tennis will last a lifetime. Personal attention is a high priority at Brady Tennis Camp. The goal is to send each camper home with a new enthusiasm for tennis and a better understanding of their game. All levels are represented: Novice, Satellite, Open, and High School players are grouped in levels of similar ability for instruction and match play. Instruction and drills will be tailored to meet the needs of every ability level. A written evaluation will be given to each camper at the conclusion of camp.

Sport Psychology
The Bradys believe the mental part of the game is just as important as the strokes and also helps kids/parents with life lessons. Dr. Virgil Brady, author of "The Score is Love All," will give seminars throughout the week to campers as well as offer a free workshop to all parents on the closing day helping parent/child communication and motivation in sports.
