Good things should be repeated - that's what we as a tennis family thought after the Easter tennis camp in March 2017 at the Schüttler-Waske Tennis Academy. And it didn't stop at thinking and so next week I will set off with two of our children in the direction of Offenbach, more precisely Frankfurt-Gravenbruch.
4 days of intensive training and, like on our last visit, you can follow everyday camp life via our camp diary - not quite live, but almost and with lots of sound, text and color!
This time the kids have booked themselves into a “normal” junior camp , which is offered all year round. 4 days of training like professionals , i.e. 1.5 hours of training in the morning and afternoon - plus an hour of athletic training. And one coach is responsible for two children per place.
Since we play at the Waske Tennis University outside of the Hessian school holidays, the kids are included in the “normal” junior training routine. I'm curious to see whether and, if so, what differences there are between the school holiday camps at Easter, in the summer and autumn and this "all-year-round" junior camp. We can compare it well.
In any case, there are a few obvious differences compared to our visit 1.5 years ago: on the one hand, the academy was “Alexander Waske Tennis University” . Since Rainer Schüttler had increasingly withdrawn from operational and strategic matters in recent years, this name change was the logical consequence.
new location for youth training has also been available since late summer 2017 , where the junior camp for our kids will now also take place: in the air dome directly at the 5-star Kempinski Hotel Frankfurt-Gravenbruch, the youth players train in the winter season in addition to the regular ones Club training if you want to take advantage of professional tennis training and improve.
There are currently around 20 ambitious youth players who are playing at the BSC 1899 Offenbach facility in the summer. The main location remains the Rosenhöhe in Offenbach.
I'm also excited to see which tennis professionals we'll see training at the academy - that's always very exciting and a great motivation for the kids! Around 20-25 professionals are currently training at the Tennis University, of whom Andrea Petkovic, young talent Jule Niemeier and Phillip Petzschner are among the best-known and most successful German tennis stars.
Basically, the Alexander Waske Tennis University offers Easter, summer and autumn camps during the Hessian school holidays, which are aimed not only at the young tennis stars of tomorrow, but also at all tennis-loving children and young people aged 8-18 who simply want to want to train under professional conditions. And by the way, the doors of the Tennis University are also open to adults or teams at any time for such a “get a taste” experience. Because everyone can gain a lot from the professional trainers for their “tennis home use” and get new inspiration and motivation. So just train like a pro! That's interesting for every tennis player!
As with Easter Camp 2017, I will write a detailed camp diary about the camp - so stay tuned for our daily report with lots of pictures and probably one or two videos and interviews. So you can find out exactly and in detail how a junior camp at the Alexander Waske Tennis University works and what awaits you or your kids there.
