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:
Beginner: Players new to the game with little to no formal tennis instruction. They are still learning the fundamentals, focusing on basic skills and rules of the game. Typically play for recreation and have minimal match-play 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.

Wants to come back for another!
As Ethan’s first ever summer camp, let alone tennis camp, we enjoyed the combination of competition, learning and camaraderie at camp. He loves tennis so to have this be his first group experience was a plus. He wants to do another and another!

So much fun!
Eleanor had so much fun! She was a true beginner and this camp has sparked an interest in the game for her which is exactly what I wanted. She had a lot of fun and loved all the games; she also said the counselors were really nice. I would recommend to anyone thinking about putting their 6-7 year old in who’s starting tennis to take this camp.

Fast paced instruction
After a first disappointing day, where it was clear the level was too low, and drills too slow, a short conversation with the camp director made a big change. The rest of the week was an excellent fit of fun college level drills and intense technical work out. The highlight was ever day four hours of fast paced instruction.
