Future Stars 2025 Summer Program
Catered to intermediate-advanced level players
Individualized training programs for players focused on technical improvements, tactical and strategic understanding, mental toughness/mentality development, and fitness.
June 16 - August 15
This training program will take place between June 16 - August 15. Camp will be 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM Monday through Friday at Lincolnia Park Recreational Club (6501 Montrose Street, Alexandria VA). We are building the premier developmental program in the area for players looking to make the jump to our Elite program!
The Future Stars Tennis Camp offers competitive players an opportunity to work on their game over the course of the summer. Players will be broken into groups based on levels. We will focus on improving players’ technical skills, understanding of strategy and tactics, developing mental toughness, improving fitness, and taking ownership of their own games. Daily themes will be based on players' individual needs. The camp will include drilling, match play, and fitness components. We strive to have a 5:1 player-to-coach ratio.

Areas of Focus
Stroke Production
Emphasis on technical skills that allow players to become biomechanically efficient with their swing paths, weight transfer, and movement patterns. This training helps players to execute clean technique and footwork under pressure.
Foundational Expertise
Players’ ability to find confidence in every ball and execute each shot with consistency in practice and competition. Owning the rally ball is the key to building a solid foundation for players, allowing them to create their on-court identity. Ensuring that every player has clarity and is assertive in all areas of their game.
Tactics and Strategy
Focus on players understanding how they want to execute their points and what play patterns put them in advantageous positions. Students’ ability to structure points and break down the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents and themselves to adapt to their opponent's games.
Mental Toughness/Fortitude
We believe that tennis is a sport of adversity. Players must be able to handle and overcome adverse situations during the course of their training and matches. We aim to put players in challenging situations which mentally prepare them for high-performance competition.
Fitness
Players’ physical fitness translates into their confidence and inner strength. We look to focus on their strength, agility, endurance, flexibility, and recovery to help players compete at the highest levels.
Other Important Information:
Weather Policy: should we miss a class due to weather, players are allowed to make up the missed class on another day. All make ups must be completed by the end of Summer. In addition, we will not make up any days that we get in at least 2 hours of camp. Coaches will stay with players until everyone is picked up in the case of inclement weather.
Players should bring lots of water, sunscreen, and a snack for a mid-session break. Participants should bring at least one full 16oz water bottle for every hour they will be playing. Many players also prefer to bring hygiene products (wipes, hand sanitizer, personal towel, change of clothing, extra shoes, hair ties, etc.).
The daily drop-in rate is $120. MFTA does not prorate days for any sign ups. (For example: If a player comes for 2 hours when paying the daily price, the cost will not be prorated.)

Cancellations made between May 13th and May 26th will require a $50 cancellation fee and receive a full refund for the price of the purchased class. For weekly sign-ups, there is a $50 cancellation fee and a refund of 50% of the weekly cost for cancellations made between May 13th and June 8th, 2025.
