6 week Fall training program:
The program is led by a highly trained team of the Newburyport High School tennis coaches and high school student-athletes. The clinics will combine the professional training, instruction and focus of a junior tennis specialty camp with the warmth and fun coaching styles of the staff. The clinics will be held at the beautiful Atkinson Common Courts. The program will ensure each camper’s safety, skill development, and individual enjoyment. This program is meant for Grades 1-7 (Boys and girls)
Camp Highlights:

"Coach Craddock is an amazing tennis coach. My 9 year old has attended two of his clinics, last fall and this spring. She never touched a racket before, and now LOVES tennis. He keeps them engaged and active, and makes sure everyone is having fun. Coach Craddock really knows the sport, and gives each child in the clinic individual instruction. I can't say enough about his clinics!"
-Testimonial from Kara
"Coach Craddock has so much experience as a teacher and a coach that he is able to meet each kid where they are and help them move to the next level. He uses engaging ways to teach skills and everyone has lots of fun."
-Testimonial from Emily
"I was thrilled Jesse was coordinating a children’s tennis clinic and knew that if anyone could get my daughter jazzed about tennis, it was Jesse! As a charismatic, reputable elementary school PE teacher and seasoned tennis, swim, golf and soccer coach, I trusted Jesse would motivate and engage the children and also cultivate enthusiasm for the sport. Sure enough, every time my daughter walked off the court, she was overjoyed, confident and very excited about tennis. Jesse is also punctual, well organized and communicative about the practice schedule. In fact, many parents commented on how impressed they were with how Jesse ran the camp and the knowledge their child gained from it!"
