Tennis Program
(Camp Code: TNXROD)
This year we are offering five weeks of overnight, extended day (9:00am-9:00pm) and day camp (9:00am-5:00pm) for players ages 8-18. Lunch & dinner are included for Extended Day Campers. Lunch is included for Day Campers.
In addition to the all skills program, we offer a tournament training program each week. The tournament training program is geared towards tournament level and ranked players looking to improve their tournament results, learn winning strategies, and work on mental toughness.
We are also offering special high school programs during the last two weeks of camp. Make sure to note that you would like to participate in this programs when you register. The high school session is provided for players currently on their high school team and wanting to move up the ladder or those planning on making the high school team.
The tennis program consists of five to six hours of daily instruction which includes technical work in the form of drills, strategy sessions, on-and-off court conditioning, supervised point and match play, mental toughness and game analysis. In addition to supervised free play, campers will receive special help sessions at night on forehand, backhand, serve and volley. The techniques and methods build confidence, while the group dynamics enable the students to get more done and have more fun.
Classes are programmed for three different proficiency levels: beginners, intermediates and advanced players — of all ages. Each student will be tested weekly and placed in a group of similar ability, and age so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Beginners will be playing tennis in just a few days; intermediates will improve all aspects of their game; and advanced players will sharpen their game to a competitive edge.
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. 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.

Other Nike Sports Camps at Curry College
MB Sports Camps offer a unique opportunity for kids, as the NikeTennis Camp will run simultaneously and in conjunction with the Nike SoccerCamp, Nike Golf Camp, Nike Lacrosse Camp, and NIKE Softball Camp this year. All five sports camps are directed by the owners, Mehdi and Maria Belhassan, and staffed with top nationally and internationally renown coaches. Campers can stay multiple weeks and participate in multiple sports (one program per week) without ever having to move. They can even stay in the same dorm room. This is a great opportunity for athletes with multiple interests to get great intensive training in their favorite sports at one location - play tennis one week and soccer, lacrosse, golf, or softball the next!
