Michael Filipek Junior Tennis Academy, New York City

JUNIOR DAY CAMP

The centerpiece of the Michael Filipek Tennis Academy is our Junior Day Camp, which is held at the twenty-court Hunt Tennis Center on the campus of prestigious Choate Rosemary Hall. After a successful innagural year in 2007 the MFTA is building a reputation as one of the finest tennis programs in the Northeast. Founder and director Michael Filipek will apply decades of experience and years of planning to the academy in its second year. The camp will consist of two distinct programs:

Ages: 5-9 (beginners)
Time: 9:00-11:45am
Monday-Friday

“New Stars” Program:" This program is designed for our youngest players to develop all basic skills and to associate tennis with fun. Kids will learn and practice all stroke techniques, footwork and accuracy. A variety of fun and skill building games will be used to boost learning and enjoyment.

Ages: 7-18
Time: 9:00am - 4:00pm
Monday-Friday

Full Day Camp: This program is uniquely designed to maximize the experience for young players of all ages and levels. Each day will consist of at least four hours of on court training, two hours of off court training, and lunch. Every camper will receive training in all aspects of the game, including stroke technique, footwork, strategy, fitness, and match play. From beginners to tournament players, all players will receive a customized curriculum to enhance their development.

High School Training

The Michael Filipek Tennis Academy specializes in training players of high school age. Whether you are on your high school team or aspiring to be, whether currently playing tournaments or are planning to in the near future, the MFTA Day Camp is designed so that these young players can not only reach but go beyond their goals. This is accomplished by providing focus on the main factors that many high school age players lack: match play experience, point construction, strategy, and mental/emotional control.

At MFTA we will teach players what to expect during competition and how to deal with each scenario that may arise on court during a match. Through practice matches, match charting, mental/emotional training and situational drills, players will come away from MFTA with an understanding of what is necessary to maximize their potential.
