The balls are low-compression so they are easier to hit, allowing kids to get to the ball and develop optimal swing patterns.

improved his skills and had a blast
July 20, 2019: This was a wonderful camp and experience for our son! He learned so much, improved his skills and most importantly - he had a blast! The Camp Director went over and above. He was full of enthusiasm and also kept the campers organized and safe. Can't say enough about the entire vibe of the staff. THANK YOU! Hope we can come back next summer.

"this is the best camp"

Built lots of confidence
June 16, 2018: My 13 year old was reluctant to go to a camp "alone" (because he's 13) ....fast forward last day - he declined to leave even 15 minutes early on Friday to get another commitment on time! I over heard him bragging to a friend about how much he loved tennis and how well he did in camp. Building confidence is probably about the most important thing you can do for an athlete and 13 year old. Thank you!!!!

The coaches at the Cal Nike camp are AMAZING. They have great energy, incredible patience, and infectious enthusiasm. They also make it fun and make each child feel special.

This is a fabulous camp - the perfect balance of drills and games. My son loves this camp and looks forward to waking up and going. The camp seems to attract like-minded kids - enthusiastic and good-natured - at various skill level. He adores the coaches and would attend all 6 weeks if our schedule allowed. Not sure if all Nike Tennis camps are the same, but I have a feeling that this one is particularly special.

Invaluable Experience!
When we arrived on Monday morning, we were greeted by a very friendly group of people who seemed excited to see my son. Needless to say, he was a bit nervous about being in a new situation with kids he had never met before. The staff gave him a really cool t-shirt and then proceeded to get all of the kids together for instruction. The staff introduced themselves and went through the rules. Both of us are school teachers and it was great to see the organization from the get go. After the initial greetings and rules, they immediately got to work on warm-up and drill, a standard procedure for the following days. I am so glad we chose to send our son to your school for camp. He was so glad to come back and tell his coach about his wonderful experiences there. He not only had a great time, but he felt as though he made some new friends and learned a lot from your coaches. He is already talking about next year’s tennis camp and has decided he might want to try the full day as well. Thank you for such an invaluable experience!
