All sessions are open to players of all abilities. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Camp is geared towards players of all skill levels. We welcome beginners, tournament level players and high school players.

Campers will learn fundamentals and improve upon their game. Beginners who are newer to the sport are welcome to attend camp. Tournament-level and ranked players will be able to improve their tournament results, learn winning strategies, and work on mental toughness. All players currently on their high school team and wanting to move up the ladder or those planning on making the high school team are welcome as well. Camp will be catered to campers of all levels as everyone is grouped by age, ability, and experience.

*We can also provide low-compression balls for younger campers when requested as we use small courts and the low-compression balls for all campers as a training technique for touch and volleys.

    June 25, 2022: My daughter had a really great time! She loved the counselors, the activities and the facilities. She had been to a different tennis camp in the past and did not like that one because it did not have any night time activities or other activities other than tennis. Nike camp seemed to have a good combination of both. Her counselors at Nike were amazing. Counselors were warm, friendly and fun. Camp did a good job of providing both tennis instruction and other camp activities so that they were occupied and having fun at all times.
