Find of the week: Five Star Tennis of Plainfield

Few people think of Plainfield, Illinois as a hotbed for competitive youth tennis — which is exactly why Five Star Tennis is this week's find.

The program runs a summer camp for junior players of all ages and abilities, from beginners picking up a racquet for the first time to tournament-level juniors sharpening their match play. Sessions mix drilling with real match experience, and the coaching staff works with kids grouped by age and level rather than throwing everyone onto the same court.

What stands out is the atmosphere: it feels like a place kids actually want to spend their summer days, not a tennis factory. For Naperville-area families tired of driving across the suburbs for quality junior instruction, having a serious program ten minutes down the road in Plainfield is the real find here.
