Atkins Independence Day Adult Camp July 1st!

Come join us at the Atkins Tennis Center on Saturday, July 1st for our first annual Independence Day Adult Camp!  We will be running an afternoon (1:30pm-4:30pm) and evening session (6-9pm under the lights!) on July 1 for adults of all levels. We will do a variety of drilling, games, stroke analysis, and match play! If your strokes are in need of some attention then this is the camp for you!  If doubles/singles match play strategy/court positioning is a problem then this camp will help you refine those skills as well! The first 3 hours will be packed with teaching and drilling.  The second 3 hours will be packed with match play, games, an Independence Day BBQ, and music! We will have bbq chicken and burgers, chips, cookies, other side items as well as beverages for everyone… Come join myself and other Atkins teaching staff for a fun day on July 1!   The cost is $75/player and you may register at the front desk now! Call 217-244-8562 or stop by...Spots are limited.   Contact Brandon Lenfert at bdlenfer@illinois.edu for more info. Cannot wait to see everyone out!
