Performance|Competition Training Spring / SUMMER 2026

Weekend tennis camp training for experienced players grades 7 thru 12 (ages 12 to 18).

SCJTL Performance|Competition Training (PCT) program, established in 2008, remains Suffolk County’s only program dedicated exclusively to building true competition skills and match readiness.

This program is ideal for:

• For girls preparing for varsity tennis in the fall: Girls preparing for varsity tennis in the fall benefit most from starting early. Building skills, confidence, and match toughness now sets them up for their strongest season when tryouts begin.

  For boys just finishing their season: Boys coming off their season are in the ideal window for growth. Sharpening the skills developed this year through continued training and competition helps maximize improvement and elevate performance for next season.

3-hour training every Saturday encompassing all of the skills and knowledge that a school tennis team and tournament player needs to reach the next level. 
Designed for middle school and high school tennis players (grades 7–12) who want to build a well‑rounded game and translate their training into stronger match‑play performance throughout the team competition season.
