CAMP PROGRAM INFORMATION
- Camp Type(s) Offered: Full Day (9:00am-3:00pm) & Extended Day (9:00am-4:00pm)
- Gender: Coed
- Age Range: 10-18
- Skill Level: Intermediate & Advanced
There are three session options to choose from during your week of camp. Tennis Campers may attend either one of the 2-day sessions or the full 4-day session.
SKILL LEVELS & GROUP PLACEMENT
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Campers are then sorted by ability first, then age per the Camp Director's discretion - adjustments are made as needed during camp.
While there are many ways to define skill levels, the following descriptions are what the Camp Directors at Nike Tennis Camps will use to organize and group camp participants. At the time of registration, please choose the level that best represents your athlete's experience:
Intermediate: Players who can serve and sustain rallies with consistency. They are comfortable hitting medium-paced shots but may struggle with all strokes and directional control. Some may have participated in local tournaments and possess a UTR rating or are equivalent to a High School JV player.
Advanced: Players with dependable strokes and solid directional control. They demonstrate a strong competitive spirit, improved court coverage, and are developing strategies for both singles and doubles play. These players frequently compete in tournaments and have a USTA or UTR rating, or are equivalent to a High School Varsity player.

OUR FAVORITE TENNIS CAMP!
June 2024: My kids ask to come back every year. They've attended many tennis camps, and this is by far their favorite! We travel far just to attend, and the kids adore the staff. It is such a fun and positive environment, the kids don't feel judged or insecure, which is perfect for them.

thank you again for the great time
7/10/2012 - Hi Paul, Just a short note to thank you again for the great time Chris had at your camp. I don't know what you all did at camp, but he came back refreshed and won four singles matches and made the semis of doubles at the Level 3 Regional Segment in Austin.

LOVED IT!
July 29, 2016: My daughter had a fantastic time, she is 11 years old. We sent her for the 3 day program, she wasn't sure if she wanted to do it, so we picked the minimum amount of days. She LOVED it!! She can't wait to go back and wants to go for 5 days next year.

Absolutely loved it
June 23, 2018: Mitchell absolutely loved it. I personally think the cost is high for 3 and a half days. I think you would have more campers if it was 4 full days.

6/23/2013 - Kathy and Paul, Thank you so much for your great organization, enthusiasm, and fun over this past week. I was a bit worried about how it would work out given that it was so far away from us. But, it worked out beautifully! Our kids are happy (and tired) and this will leave lasting memories. What else can you ask for? You did a really really really nice job. I wish you all the best in whatever else you do this summer. Take care and thanks again.
