3rd Annual Fossil Ridge High School
Boys and Girls Summer Tennis Program
After another successful camp last summer, with over 50 boys and girls participating, we are excited to offer another summer tennis program to take your game to the next level, while making friends and being a part of the Fossil Ridge High School Tennis Community. Due to popular demand and positive feedback, we will again be offering 8 weeks of camp. These will be two-hour sessions for 3 or 4 days per week, depending on what you choose. The 4-day per week session will be dependant on if enough athletes choose this option.
This is not mandatory for participating on either the boys’ or the girls’ tennis team.
This is a great opportunity to improve your game through detailed on-court instruction, get to know your teammates and develop team unity for your season. The focus will be on getting our players ready for their seasons. The primary emphasis will be on doubles given that is what most will play, however, we will also have a singles focus at the highest level. Attention will be given to strategy, tactics and fundamentals, including volleys, I-formation, and overall movement. We will also be working on strength, agility and conditioning every session.
Every week we will have one day dedicated to match play to put the fundamentals we have been practicing into play in a match situation. A summer long match play tournament will be held. Based on sets won and games won during the weekly match play, there will be prizes awarded at the end of camp.
The camp will be run again by Zach Hartman and Sophie Hartman along with help from the Fossil Ridge current boys’ and former girls' coaches Mark and Jill Hartman. Zach played varsity tennis for Fossil for four years including two years of doubles and two years of singles, finishing 3rd in the state in singles both years. He played for the Men’s tennis team at Westmont College, a Division 2 school in California and currently plays at the 5.0 USTA level. Sophie played varsity singles all four years at Fossil and is playing tennis for Colorado Mesa University, a Division 2 school, in Grand Junction, and is also rated at the 5.0 USTA level. We are so excited to work with these athletes this summer and improve their tennis game!
There will be an opportunity for private instruction with Zach and Sophie outside of the camp hours.
The session times are still being finalized and will be based on court availability and demand. There could be 2 or 3 different two hour sessions. The start time for the first session will be 8 am and the last session ending at 12:30pm (if we have 3 sessions). This will be held at Fossil Ridge High School tennis courts during the months of June and July. The players will be assigned to one of the daily session time slots based on ability per the coach’s discretion.
There is limited space in this camp due to court availability.

· If you choose the 4 DAY a week option, you will be receiving 8 weeks and 64 hours of hands-on instruction and match play for $695.
