Early Development Camps (EDCs) – both Orange and Green ball have recently been added to the USTA Player Development and Team USA junior player development pathway. EDCs are a high level, local training opportunity for 8 to 12-year-olds. The same group of players attend every camp, providing a team environment with coaches trained specifically on Orange and Green ball tennis. USTA Colorado is excited to offer the EDC’s as a first step on the competitive Player Development pathway.
This unique program includes a coach and parent education component. Our diverse group of coaches represent tennis programs from all over the state bringing their energy, experience and passion for the game to share with the campers. Using curriculum created by USTA National specifically for these players — athletic skills, technique and tactics will be finely honed. These camps are designed for highly skilled juniors and a selection process is utilized. EDCs are now a component of Team Colorado.
USTA Colorado’s EDCs will be made up of a progression of themes. The 2019 themes are as follows:
Orange Ball EDC
Green Ball EDC
The Expert Rallyer
Defending The Court
The Net Dominator
Taking Control Of The Point
