 
The Groovy Girlz Tennis Camps are free introductory 1.5 hour sessions for girls ages 7-10 years. This year Tennis BC partnered with BC Girl Guides to deliver free tennis camps to girls throughout the province. Girls are taught hand-eye and racket coordination skills, learn teamwork and fair play while learning the basics of rallying, volleying, and serving. The certified staff use foam balls and provide Head brand racquets for all participants to use during the day. Groovy Girlz camps are sponsored by Head and 2010 Legacies Now.
For more information and registration please contact Ivana Jelec, Director of Community Development at ivana@tennisbc.org or call 604-737-3123.
