Experience Tennis
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a specialist tennis counselor at a summer camp in the United States is an opportunity to share your passion for a sport that combines technique, concentration, movement, and fun. During the summer, you will be able to teach children and teenagers of different levels, from those holding a racket for the first time to those who want to improve their strokes and their understanding of the game. As a specialist, your mission will be to create dynamic, inclusive sessions adapted to the ages of the group. Tennis allows each participant to progress at their own pace and celebrate concrete achievements, so the way you explain and motivate will be very important. Beyond teaching a sport, you will help campers gain confidence, discipline, and a love of staying active.

Teach Tennis to Your Campers!

Responsibilities

Your tasks may include preparing the courts and equipment, organizing warm-ups, and leading drills for coordination, racket control, forehand, backhand, serve, volley, footwork, and point play. You may also create circuits, accuracy games, team challenges, mini matches, and friendly tournaments adapted to different ages. It will be important to break skills down into simple steps, demonstrate techniques when appropriate, and offer variations so that no one feels excluded because of their level. Some campers will need slower balls, shorter distances, or basic exercises; others will be able to work on consistency and tactics. Your planning should ensure that everyone is active, receives guidance, and enjoys the process of improving.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Profiles with experience playing, coaching, or teaching tennis are valued, along with patience, organization, energy, and the ability to work with children and teenagers. The specific requirements may vary depending on the camp, but clear communication and a responsible attitude will always be essential. You will work in English, live alongside people from different countries, and develop skills in leadership, planning, conflict resolution, and group management. If tennis is part of your life and you want to share it during an international summer, working as a specialist counselor in the United States can be a very active, educational, and memorable professional experience.

SAFETY FIRST

Tennis promotes concentration, coordination, patience, and self-control. Campers learn to analyze a stroke, repeat a technique, and manage frustration when something doesn’t work the first time. As a counselor, you will be able to reinforce the importance of sportsmanship, respect for opponents, and honesty during matches. You can also teach that competing doesn’t mean focusing only on winning, but rather learning to give one’s best, accept mistakes, and recognize progress. Activities in pairs or teams encourage mutual support and communication, especially when participants help keep score, watch drills, or cheer on their teammates. Your positive attitude will help create a court where effort and fun matter more than the result.
