Q. Can I contact my child while attending tennis Camp?

A. Certainly, all children are allowed to bring mobile phones, but they must be kept in their rooms during the day. All rooms are WiFi enabled so pupils may also bring laptops and therefore have email correspondence to see how their week is going.

Q. Are boys and girls in accommodation together?

A. The pupils are in the same boarding house but males and females board on different levels with no access to each others floors. The common room areas are there for everybody to interact together under supervision of staff.

Q. How do I know my child will be placed in the right ability tennis group?

A. All pupils will be informally tested on arrival to have an understanding of their ability. The coaches and directors have many years coaching experience to ensure that everybody is learning and being challenged. Pupils who progress quickly will be given the chance to experience new challenges.

Q. My Child is attending with friends or a relative. Can they be roommates?

A. Ace Tennis Camps will attempt, to wherever possible fill such requests. Ensure when booking this is specified in 'additional information'.

Q. Does my child require spending money?

A. Unlike most summer camps, all activities are included in the price, therefore spending money is not required. However if pupils wish to purchase items such as additional equipment (There will be a Camp Shop) or have a racket restrung, then funds will be required to be held in the Camp Bank. The pupils can access the bank at set times during the day to withdraw money for an excursion or purchase at this time.

Q. What equipment does my child need to bring to camp?

A. All pupils need to bring at least one tennis racket and a pair of tennis specific trainers. Shorts and t-shirts for five days of playing and coaching plus casual clothing for evening activities and social events. One tracksuit in case of rain would also be advised. Bed linen is provided, towels and toiletries need to be brought. Nightwear is also recommended for all pupils due to the nature of the dorms.

Q. Can the pupils do Laundry?

A. If possible the Camp would wish to avoid this, however if absolutely necessary items can be washed on behalf of pupils in the Laundry area.

Q. Are Single rooms available?

A. Single rooms are available in small numbers, this would be on a first come first served basis and need to be specified in the booking process.

Ace Tennis Camps is happy to collect any child from the airport or station as long as sufficient notice is given to the Directors with detailed information, flight number, arrival times, terminal etc. This is a no extra cost service but is only available after speaking with one of the Directors to confirm.

Q. Can I come and visit my child during the Camp day?

A. Ace welcomes all parents to view the tennis sessions, the courts are easily accessible and there is a viewing gallery for most courts. However all visit must be communicated to the directors in advance by phone or email. Visitors must then report to the Directors for a grounds pass. This is obviously to ensure everybody's safety.
