Our world class professional staff is led by SPORTIME Schenectady's Director of Tennis, Philippe Ceas, and by Master Pros Derek Morrison, Anastasia Putilina, Alex Van Cott, and Jed Murray. Current high-level collegiate players round out our seasonal coaching team, and offer Excel campers the opportunity to hit and play with the Capital Region's finest pro staff and the best tennis competitors in Upstate NY.

EXCEL Tennis Training Program

EXCEL ELITE
Our EXCEL Elite program is the premier tennis training program in the Capital Region. This high-performance tennis camp is for players competing in or striving to compete in USTA Sectional, USTA National and ITF tournaments, and those interested in playing high school tennis, college tennis, and beyond. Participation requires Tennis Director approval.

Tournament Training (JV Level)
This program is perfect for intermediate players who are trying to elevate their games to compete at the next level. A full day of tennis activities mirrors the ELITE program, but focuses more on skills development, fun and friendship, and includes some time to cool off in the pool.

Tennis Camp (Basic Tennis Instruction)
For beginners that want a full-immersion tennis experience. Campers will learn all the basics from our dedicated, certified staff, and will discover how much fun it is to get in the game. An active day of tennis instruction, cross training, games, snacks, pool time, and modified match-play will get our campers playing and enjoying the game quickly.
