Will be back next year
July 06, 2017: My daughter is 9 years old and had such a great time. She never once complained about the heat and constant sun - she had such a great time and really improved her skills. My only recommendation is to find shadier courts which is impossible to do! Thanks to Phil and team for a tremendous week, we will be back next year.

Enjoyed the one on one coaching

Improved serve
July 06, 2017: My son was excited about the tips he received to improve his serve. The challenge matches are a great. Suggest having more levels (4 instead of 3). The middle group had the most kids from what I could tell and I think the upper and lower segments of that group would have benefited from another level mixed in.

should start camp earlier
7/1/2016 - Starting the camp an hour early would prevent playing in the late afternoon. In Charleston especially, it allows the children to play when it is cooler.
