Makeaball Tennis Academy

We are super excited to announce that bookings for our two 2024 Halloween  Camps are now live.  After our Summer Camps being super busy we have 2 Halloween Camps to keep the fun going over October Half Term 

What to expect? 

Our aim for our Camps is for all children to walk away having had an amazing day with us and wanting to come back. We want everyone to have lots of fun in a safe environment whilst hopefully learning a few top tennis tips, building friendships, working as part of a team and respect. 

How does the day run?

Drop off is between 8.30-9.00am. One of the coaching team will be  waiting to greet you at the designated drop off( please see booking confirmation email as this varies from venue to venue). Once you are signed in you will head inside to join in the welcoming activity. This will vary according to rhetoric venue. Examples are a quiz, play apparatus or catch a glimpse of the ‘MOVIE OF THE DAY’. 

At 9.00am we will head out and start the main day.  For the camp at Felixstowe Tennis Club the first session will start with warm ups working on agility, balance, co-ordination and speed. We will then head into our main tennis section involving technical work. We will take a short break at around 11am for children to grab a snack and also a chance to buy some sweets from the tuck shop. 

From 11.30am we will be back on the tennis courts for the tennis games section giving the children a chance to have some fun with our classic games : Ghost, Eliminator, Jail Break, champions, conditioned points, top of the class, cross the river and many more. 

We will take lunch between 12.45-1.30pm and give the children a chance to build up energy levels for the afternoon. We will have our ‘MOVIE OF THE DAY’ on during part of lunch. 

Our camp at Birchwood primary school will be more heavily multi sports based during the morning. The timings will be the same and tennis will be an option for children to choose during the morning. 

After lunch our focus turns to multi sports which will include: football, rounders, cricket, man hunt and many many more. 

Then pick up will be at 3.30pm for the camp at Felixstowe and between 3.30-4pm for the camp at Birchwood.  Hopefully you will be collecting very happy children. 

Timings are a rough schedule but may vary from camp to camp. 

What do I need to bring? 

Comfortable clothes, trainers, sun tan lotion, packed lunch, drinks, snacks, pocket money for tuck shop, racket if you have one (we have some for you to borrow) .

Do I need previous tennis experience? 

No not at all. Our camps are suitable for all abilities and we ensure everyone has a fantastic experience with us. We will split the children up into groups for the tennis ; based on age and also ability. We are aware some children come with a friend and if they would like to stay together we do our very best to make this happen. 

What is the tuck shop? 

During the day we will have an opportunity to purchase some sweets/chocolate from our ever popular tuck shop. Be sure to bring some pocket money to spend.
