“Cooper tennis camp is one of my favorite parts of the summer...”
Kemper Lowry Kemper Lowry, Cooper Camper, age 11
Cooper tennis camp is one of my favorite parts of the summer. The instructors were encouraging and made a point to not only help us become better players, but also to become our friends. The games we played were fun and improved our forehands, backhands and serves. They really helped us focus and develop the skills we needed to work on. While they were fun, my favorite part of camp was at the end of the day. During the last 15–20 minutes of camp we used the skills we had learned that afternoon in either doubles or singles matches. I really enjoyed being able to test my abilities against my friends and not feel any pressure. Overall, I loved tennis camp and know that I have become a better tennis player because of it.
“It was a great experience overall for her self confidence...”
Amanda Bradley, mom of Ava, age 8
Ava had the best summer thanks to the Cooper Youth Camps! She was so excited to go every day. She became much more comfortable with soccer, tennis and other team sports. It was a great experience overall for her self confidence as the camp encourages children to step outside their comfort zone. The counselors were amazing! Thank you!
“You truly can't beat Cooper campus location...”
Stephanie Oakes Stephanie Oakes and Chris Maxtone-Graham, Camp Parents
"Thank you Cooper Youth Staff for providing a wonderful, educational and safe environment to teach new sport skills to our sons Lucas and Nicholas. Our boys have attended your summer camps every summer for eight years. We've enjoyed swimming, tennis, basketball, nutrition courses, soccer, sports skills and simple outdoor fun. Meredith and Heather are fantastic with all the campers. They're masters at arranging all our schedules, checking in on campers and providing innovative ways to help kids enjoy sports and fitness. You truly can't beat Cooper campus location with 30 acres of space to enjoy. Keep up the great work! See you next summer!"
“My son still has his medal hanging on his bedroom doorknob...”
Natalie Perry Natalie Perry, Camp Parent
“My son attended two basketball clinics this summer at the Cooper Fitness Center in Dallas. I was overwhelmed one morning when I sat off to the side to review some emails and kept looking over to watch my 5 year old making baskets at the regular height basketball net. Not only was he making baskets, but all of the little cuties were making baskets. Coach did a great job with these kiddos - it’s hard to get their attention and focus at age 5. I was really impressed by the different drills Coach had them do. After learning drills, Coach would put together a timed obstacle course. I have to be honest, when the first child started the obstacle course, I thought to myself, “these kids cannot do this, they are too young, they won’t remember what to do”. Well boy was I wrong!!! They all did great. It was wonderful to see their little brains working going to each station and doing each drill. Coach interacted with the kids in a way that was very positive and motivating. Each child got a basketball to take home to continue practice and the drills they learned in the clinic. They received a certificate so they could feel proud of their accomplishments that week. T-shirts and a medal were also handed out. They were all on cloud 9! My son still has his medal hanging on his bedroom doorknob - he likes to show and tell people what he did to receive it. It was such a positive clinic for these kiddos. We will definitely be signing up for more of these type clinics. Thank you so much!!”
