An avid tennis player, Andrew Mittower is active with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and competes in an adult league.
One of the USTA’s popular offerings is the player development camp, which is by invitation, with online submission and a video also a pathway to consideration. Open to players from age six to 10, the Early Development Camps (EDC) focus on training the next generation of skilled and motivated athletes.
Emphasizing team competition, EDC centers on organizing singles and doubles play as well as special warmup activities such as the Serve Accuracy Challenge. Among the skills instilled at camp are side shuffles, which provide a way of moving laterally across the court while maintaining a position to follow and hit the ball. Participants also gain skills in employing a continental grip that helps them make better contact with the ball, as well as in finding the ball in the strike zone, between hip and shoulder.
