Welcome to Oakland Yards Tennis Camp. My husband Roman and I are proud
parents of two young adult ladies currently attending college in Michigan and
Colorado. I have a BS in Management/Economics, have worked in the medical
field as well as a substitute teacher. The outdoors and working with children is
my second love. I’ve been involved in the tennis industry for 10 years as High
School Varsity Tennis Coach, Southeast and Northeast Michigan Tennis
Association player, umpire and volunteer. I’ve taught children as young as 4 thru
high school age and taught “Tennis for the Mentally Impaired”. I hold a
Recreational Coaches Certification from the USPTA and use the USTA Game-
Based Approach to teaching tennis. I look forward to meeting you and am
pleased to be able to work with your children this summer at Oakland Yard.

My name is Andrew Dickerson. I will be going into my senior year at Our Lady of the Lakes in Waterford. I will be working in the golf camps this summer. I love to play sports, whether its for a team or just with my friends. Soccer and golf are my two favorite sports. I love listening to music, especially modern rock. During the summer I enjoy spending time on my lake. I have always enjoyed helping people and teaching them how to do things. I am looking forward to helping out this summer.
