Welcome to Deer Park Elite Athletics Summer Programs! 

Dear Parents and Players,

Welcome to another exciting summer with Deer Park Elite Athletics! We are thrilled to have your family joining us for our Summer Basketball League and Summer Tennis Program. Our goal is to provide every participant with a fun, positive, and instructional experience where they can develop their skills, build confidence, make new friends, and most importantly, enjoy the game. 

Please note that some grade divisions may be coed, with boys and girls participating together within their respective grade-level divisions. Our goal is to provide a fun, competitive, and inclusive experience for every player.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who registered early. We made every effort to honor all team and friend requests submitted before the registration deadline.

We look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday, July 11th as we kick off another great summer of athletics!

 Basketball Format

Each week, players in Grades 1–9 will participate in:

• Skills instruction
• Team practice
• League games

During our first week only, the instructional portion will be slightly shorter so our staff can evaluate teams and ensure balanced competition throughout the season.

 Summer Tennis Program

Our instructional tennis program also begins this Saturday and is designed for boys and girls of all ability levels. Players will receive age-appropriate instruction emphasizing fundamentals, sportsmanship, and having fun while improving their game.

Participants should arrive about 15 minutes before their scheduled session with their tennis racquet, water bottle, and comfortable athletic clothing.
