Spring break at Southlake Tennis Center (STC) was anything but a break — in the best possible way! From March 16–20, junior players ages 7-16 traded screen time for court time, taking the courts for a week of fun, fitness, and friendly competition during the Junior Spring Break Camp.
Led by Stephen Poorman, Director of Tennis at STC, campers of all skill levels dove into the game from day one. Whether they were brand-new to the sport or already chasing tournament play, every camper was challenged at their level and surrounded by the energy of kids who love to compete.
Campers worked on technique, footwork, and the athletic skills that make great tennis players — agility, coordination, and court awareness. Beginners learned how to keep score, sustain a rally, and play their first full matches. More experienced players sharpened singles and doubles strategies under expert guidance.
All STC junior programs are built on the acclaimed Evolution Kids curriculum — the same program used at the John McEnroe Tennis Academy — taught by certified tennis professionals dedicated to making the game fun and approachable. The result? Kids who leave camp not just better players, but kids who genuinely love the sport.
And this is just the beginning. For juniors who caught the tennis bug this spring, STC has an action-packed summer ahead! Junior Summer Camps are back, May 25 – August 8, with week-long camps running throughout the summer.
Summer camps are open to children who have completed first grade and up, for all skill levels. Players are grouped by age and ability to ensure every camper is challenged at just the right level.

- Full Day campers enjoy a fun-filled afternoon with tennis and fitness games on the indoor courts, movies, and exciting activities. On Fridays, Full Day campers enjoy a cheese pizza lunch together.
