BAA Beginner Tennis Camps
REGISTRATION IS OPENING FEBRUARY 1, 2026
BAA Beginner Tennis Camp Overview
The Bloomington Athletic Association delivers fun, affordable, and safe youth sports experiences fueled by our passionate volunteers. Our tennis camp is designed to develop basic tennis skills while having fun. We’ll focus on eye-hand coordination, racket and ball control, and stroke technique through fun drills and games in a positive, friendly atmosphere.
The maximum number of participants per session is 12 (per time slot). We ask that you sign up for only one camp to allow more players to try our new tennis camp.
Volunteers
For our tennis camps, volunteers may be needed to help follow the lead instructor in running tennis drills and games. Please indicate if you would be willing to help with your child’s registration form or reach out to the tennis commissioner, Karen Scott, at tennis@baaonline.org
BAA Tennis is led by Karen Scott, Kennedy’s Assistant Girls Tennis Coach.
