What our students say about us

This is the second summer that my girls have attended the Grip N' Rip summer camp and it is still their absolute favorite! The instructors are great and do a fantastic job of combining technique and fun. They are already begging me to sign them up for more weeks.

    My son loved Grip n Rip summer camp. It was his first camp ever and I was nervous to send him but the staff make it so welcoming and fun. They keep these kids entertained by playing all kinds of fun games while teaching them so much about tennis. I was surprised to see how much he learned in just a few days of camp. We liked it so much that we signed him up for fall after school program and now tennis is my son’s favorite sport. Highly recommend this program.

      I can not say enough great things about this program! Both of my daughters have been in the program for several years. Besides the great atmosphere and facilities, the instructors are the best!! All of them! John Michael, Sonal & Sunil are just a few of the coaches that your kids are going to love! There’s also so much flexibility and a place for every level. Thank you Grip N’ Rip for not only teaching the girls to be great players, but also inspiring them to love the game!
