La Jolla Nike Tennis Camp La Jolla, California

The La Jolla Nike Tennis Camp has operated for over 20 years and we are looking forward to our best summer to date! This year’s summer camp will be directed by Bill Scott who is returning for his 22nd year. Come work hard, improve your game and make new friends.

UCSD rests high atop the bluffs of La Jolla just minutes from the Pacific Ocean. Each day of the summer tennis camp will include morning and afternoon tennis sessions consisting of instruction, drills and match play. Demonstrations will divide each session into different segments.

"We focus on sportsmanship, individual improvement and having tons of fun both on and off the court… all in our family atmosphere.” - Coach Bill Scott

Program
This year we are offering three weeks of Junior overnight and day camp (8:30am-4:00pm) for kids ages 9-18 of all skill levels. For younger campers, we will offer lighter, lower-bouncing balls. Lunch is included for Day Campers. 

Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.

For tennis each day campers will travel by private bus to Cathedral Catholic High School in Del Mar for our tennis training. The bus ride is only 8-10 minutes and we will have full access to Cathedral Catholics state of the art tennis center and pool. Day campers may be dropped off and picked up at Cathedral H.S. each day instead of UCSD if they prefer.

 Dartfish video analysis will be used during the camp to analyze and improve your strokes. See your strokes compared to a top playing professional!  Your Dartfish Mediabook will be posted to a private player locker on Dartfish.tv and reviewed with you by the staff at camp (click here for an example). You will receive a printout showing key positions with corrective comments. After camp, these Dartfish interactive analyses are available for purchase. For $19.95, the package includes:

• Stroke Analysis:  your Dartfish Mediabook contains videos of your strokes, plus side-by-side comparison with a pro, along with comments.
• Pro Stroke Library: one month access to Pro Stroke Library, featuring hundreds of strokes in both real and high speed.
• Camp highlights video*: This video of camp activities and friends all set to music will be something  everyone will want to have and keep forever. (*Only offered at participating locations.)

NOTE: Regardless of whether you purchase the post-camp package, all campers will be filmed at camp, see their mediabook, and go home with a printout.
