Switzerland is a safe place and an environmentally friendly place. Despite the presence of industry, the authorities of this country managed to keep the mountains and rivers, lakes and meadows practically untouched. Clean mountain air has a beneficial effect on the health of young athletes and makes training even more productive.

• Heavy loads

Intensive training sessions can be difficult for untrained players, it is important to take into account the physical fitness of a teenager before enrolling and choose a camp according to his capabilities.

• Limited number of places

Popular camps fill up quickly, and you need to book a place in advance, preferably several months in advance.

• The difference in climate

Teenagers who are used to warmer climates may feel uncomfortable in alpine conditions, especially if training takes place in the morning or evening.

• Strict daily routine

Some tennis schools in Switzerland require their students to follow strict schedules. For children who are not used to an intensive regime and discipline, this can become a serious stress.

When choosing a tennis camp in Switzerland for a teenager, you should focus on several key factors.

The level of training and the studying program. Is the camp suitable for your child's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)? Ask for how many hours of tennis training are conducted per day, and what kind of program is it amateur or professional. The availability and choice of group and individual classes, the level of coaches (ITF certification, experience working with young athletes) is important.

The general format of the camp. It can be a specialized tennis camp or a camp with a multidisciplinary program. If you want to enroll your child in a long-term program, the opportunity to combine tennis with academic studies will be a significant advantage.: This way, the young athlete will be spared the need to travel from school to camp and back every day.

The available infrastructure. Everything matters: which courts are in the camp (indoor or outdoor, their surface (soil, hardboard, grass), the availability of ventilation and heating systems, how access to the gym, pool, physiotherapists is organized, what additional sports facilities are available (fitness, OFP, tactical classes).

The language environment. What language are you studying in (English, French, German)? Is it possible, along with tennis training, to seriously study foreign languages in parallel, and if so, which ones and with what intensity? In which part of Switzerland is the camp located (mountains, lake, city)? And even if the country is small at first glance, there are different climatic zones here, so you need to make sure that the climate is suitable for comfortable training.

Safety and living conditions. There are three main options: guest families, residences, and a campus, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Pay attention to the conditions of medical care and insurance: for children, especially athletes, this issue is of priority importance.

Additional activities and leisure time. What do children do besides tennis (excursions, cultural events, other sports)? Which countries do students usually come from? The opportunity to communicate with children from different countries will significantly enrich a teenager's experience and help him find new friends.
