NIKE TENNIS CAMP MOVES TO AN EXCITING NEW LOCATION!

After seven successful years at Miami University of Ohio we will be moving our Nike Tennis Camp to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. We are thrilled about the new location and believe it will make our camp better than ever!

Facilities
Located in southeast Ohio, Athens is approximately three hours east of Cincinnati and one and a half hours southeast of Columbus. The outstanding facilities at Ohio University include ten lighted outdoor courts as well as four beautiful indoor courts. These new features will not only guarantee play and instruction in the event of inclement weather, but will also give us the versatility of evening tennis. In addition, we will have total access to a state of the art indoor swimming pool which will provide a refreshing break during the hot summer days and another fun off-court activity. Campers will stay in air-conditioned dorms within walking distance from the courts and cafeteria. Combined with the All-American campus and outstanding dining facilities, we firmly believe that we will be able to add tremendous value to your Nike Tennis Camp experience.

Mario Contardi and Steve Contardi will, as always, be directing the camp and will be in residence for every session. Many of last year’s favorite Nike Camp counselors will be returning in 2008 and we expect the return of many former Nike Campers as well as new campers of all ages.

Staff
Steve Contardi is founder of the Contardi Tennis Camps, and the Director of Tennis at The Club at Harper’s Point in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ray Reppert is the former head women's tennis coach at Miami University of Ohio and is currently the Director of Tennis at the Seminole Lake Tennis Center.  A three-time Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, Reppert is the winningest coach in Miami's women's tennis history. Mario Contardi, a teaching professional at the Club at Harper's Point, one of Ohio's top high school coaches, and a former Miami University player, is in his 7th year as co-director.

Tournament Training Session
In addition to the general camp sessions for all levels, the week of June 15-20 will have a Tournament Training component to it with a focus on strategy and matchplay. While this tournament training session is geared towards campers who are competing in tournaments, we are also offering a general program that same week.

Program Information
You can choose an Overnight option ($775) or an Extended Day Camp option ($565 for 8:30 a.m to 9:00 p.m.).

Check-In for Overnight Campers: Between 12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. the first day of camp

We are proud of the camp tradition we have established over the years and are very excited about our new home at Ohio University. Nike Tennis Camps provide a unique environment for kids to elevate their games and have fun along the way. Come to Ohio University this summer and get an experience that will last forever.
