About
TennisCool Academy offers a Summer Tennis Camp that includes tennis practice, warm-up, running, stretching, jumping rope, physical conditioning and fitness exercises, drills, games, competitions, and singles and doubles tournaments. Camp activities also include pizza and ice-cream parties, videotaping sessions with professional analysis, and trips to watch US Open Series tennis tournaments. Beyond camp, the program offers private, semi-private, and group tennis lessons, leagues, competitions, tournaments, tennis camps, a Quick Start program, Competitive Training Classes, Conditioning Classes, Cardio Tennis, and a Tennis4tots program.
• Ages: 3–17 years old
• Schedule: Summer Tennis Camp runs Monday–Friday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm for eleven weeks, with tennis practice during those hours and videotaping sessions with professional analysis available at the end of each five-week session; additional classes are available on weekdays and weekends at multiple clubs.
• Price: Each full week session is $475.00 (snack not included), single days are $105.00, and families registering for six or more full-week sessions or for two or more children receive a 10% discount under the stated conditions.
During tennis practice, there is a 15-minute snack break at 11:00 am, and parents provide the snack. Campers are split into groups based on age and level of play, and during some games all groups are mixed so lower-level players are grouped with higher-level players. The program notes that friendship and sportsmanship accompany the social and active life of the camp, and that there is flexibility for a child to join any time, any day of the week. Transportation might be available from the North Suburbs depending on demand, and pre- and after-care camp will be available. TennisCool Academy is a private, family-owned club that offers programs indoors and outdoors, in the morning or at night, on weekdays and weekends, at several locations, and states that its rates are 20–30% cheaper than those of other clubs. In addition to English, staff are versed in several Eastern-European languages, including Spanish and Russian.
The Tennis4tots program is for children aged 2.5 to 4 years old and focuses on learning tennis basics through fun activities and games. The Quick Start program follows United States Tennis Association guidelines and introduces children 10 and under to a format that brings out their athletic potential. Cardio Tennis combines tennis with cardiovascular exercise, working the heart and muscles, burning calories, and increasing overall fitness while socializing. TennisCool states that it stays true to its motto: “play tennis—have fun!”
TennisCool has been operating since 2002, and the Summer Tennis Camp is being hosted for the 20th straight year. The mission of the Summer Tennis Camp is to combine fun experience with the highest level of instruction and competitions aimed at each individual’s level of play. The leadership of TennisCool Academy includes Len Gutin, President of TennisCool Academy.
TennisCool describes itself as more than a private club for athletes, calling it a close-knit community focused on healthy living, self-improvement, and spending time with friends and family, and also notes that it offers networking opportunities for people who enjoy tennis. TennisCool states that it is the only private organization in Chicago that joins families with a wider tennis community and that it is the first club to offer this type of custom-tailored solution.
One parent testimonial from Anthony and Nataliya Melikhov describes their daughter Alexis’s experience at the summer camp as very positive, mentioning friendly coaches led by Mr. Len Gutin, many fun activities, careful organization, new friendships, and Alexis’s continued attendance at the Academy after camp.
