Frequently Asked Questions


Who are the coaches?

Most of the coaches are members of the Paly Boys and Girls Tennis Team who are experienced and highly competitive high school players, coaching under the supervision of Paly Tennis Head Coach Andy Chang. All student coaches undergo curriculum, stroke techniques, communications and safety training prior to coaching.

Can we sign up for fewer than 5 days per week?

Yes, when completing the registration on ActivityHero, you have the option of selecting specific single dates to attend. The fee will be for per day instead of per week.

Can I drop off my kid earlier for camp or pick up later?

We will be at the tennis courts 15 mins before and after camp hours (9 am-Noon) to set up and take down/clean up. Our staff is happy to supervise your child at that time. If your kid needs longer supervision, under ActivityHero, you’ll see options to add Extended Care service (up to 1 hour before or after our camp) for $20 per hour.

What is your cancellation policy?

If your plans change, we are happy to refund part of the fees that you’ve pre-paid based on the following schedule:

If you cancel 6 weeks before the 1st day of camp: 90% refund

If you cancel 4 weeks before the 1st day of camp: 80% refund

If you cancel 2 weeks before the 1st day of camp: 70% refund

If you cancel 1 week before the 1st day of camp: 60% refund

If you cancel less than 1 week before 1st day of camp or after camp starts: 50% refund of days not yet attended.

How do you better prepare the players for high school team tennis?

Our counselor coaches are all experienced high school players who have been through the try-out process and teach campers how to best navigate the process.

Also, there is a lot of doubles match playing both during tryouts and once you make a high school team, but typical tennis camps and clinics rarely teaches students how to play doubles. This is one of the key things that makes our program unique.
