Advantage Junior Tennis Camp — 2020

The Advantage Junior Tennis Camp program runs for 13 weeks from June 8 – September 4, and incorporates tennis with other recreational activities to round out the day. The camp is located on beautiful Roosevelt Island, NYC’s oasis in the East River. Offered by the Roosevelt Island Racquet Club, the camp utilizes a nearby pool and gym along with various athletic fields just a short walk from the club. The camp program is for children ages 6-17.

Advantage Junior Tennis, founded in 1970, is the City’s oldest and most established junior tennis program. These year round programs, which continue to grow rapidly, were developed to meet the needs of the city’s young tennis community. We serve players of all ages and levels, from our QuickStart program for children ages 4 and up, to recreational players, to serious tournament competitors. Our mission is to provide each player with the opportunity to learn, improve and compete, or simply to have fun with friends. Our team of instructors and coaches proudly includes some of the finest coaches in the East at excellent and convenient facilities in New York City.
