Camp Coaches

  • Michael Herman

    Director

    Michal Herman was hired as the 11th head women’s tennis coach in Johns Hopkins history on August 12, 2024. He joined the Blue Jays from Samford University, where he spent the 2024 season as an assistant coach.

    Michael Herman

    Director

    In his first season at Homewood, Herman led the Blue Jays to a 16-8 record and a trip to the NCAA Semifinals. In its first season as an independent, JHU earned an at-large bid to the tournament and upset a pair of top-five teams en route to the semifinals. Kamila Wong and Ava Li earned a spot in the NCAA Doubles Championship. Jay Xiao earned a bid to the NCAA Singles Championship and advanced to the quarterfinals. Wong, Li and Xiao all earned All-America honors from the ITA.

    Herman helped Samford to a 15-8 record and a berth in the Southern Conference title match last season. The Bulldogs’ 15 wins in 2024 are the most for the program in more than a decade. Two Bulldogs earned First Team All-SoCon honors in singles and teamed up for first team all-conference honors in doubles. Samford also produced a SoCon All-Freshman Team selection.

    Herman went to Samford after a three-year stint as an assistant for the Washington College men’s and women’s tennis teams. In the Spring of 2022, he served as interim head coach for both programs. Herman helped the WC tennis programs to a combined 47 wins, including the COVID-shortened 2021 season, along with four berths in the Centennial Conference Tournament. Eight singles players and four doubles teams garnered All-Centennial Conference honors during his three years on the Eastern Shore.

    Herman was a four-year letterwinner at Goucher College, where he graduated in May 2020 with degrees in business management and Spanish. He is currently pursuing an MBA from Samford. Herman helped the Gophers to three straight Landmark Conference Championships and ranked seventh in program history in doubles wins (44) when he graduated. He was named the Landmark Co-Rookie of the Year in 2017 and went on to earn all-conference honors in both singles and doubles. Herman was the recipient of the Goucher Athletic Department’s Neumann Award as a senior.

  • Naz Karagoz

    Coach

    Naz Karagöz joined the Washington College men's and women's tennis staff in September 2023. In September 2024 she was named the Associate Head Coach.

    Naz Karagoz

    Coach

    Karagöz helped guide the Shorewomen to Centennial Conference Tournament in 2024 and on the men’s side saw Karl Hoegstedt land All-CC first team honors for the third straight season. In her second season with Shoremen and Shorewomen Tennis in 2025, both teams earned a spot in the conference tournament with Sihoo Kim earning CC Rookie of the Year on the men’s side. The men's squad also was ranked nationally for the first time in 18 years in 2025.

    Karagöz boasts an impressive resume as a former Division I tennis player. The Turkey native opened her collegiate career at Tulane University where she played for three years. During her freshman campaign, Karagöz earned an All-American Athletic Conference selection and received the team's newcomer of the year award after an 15-11 overall record. In her sophomore year, Karagöz began to play as the No.1 singles player for Tulane and went 2-0 at the American Conference Championships, recording the team's only point against champion Tulsa. Karagöz continued at the top spot for the Green Wave in her junior season.

    In 2019, Karagöz transferred to Norfolk State for a graduate year with the Spartans. She became the program's first MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) Player of the Year with a 9-1 season as the Spartans top singles player. Her efforts led NSU to its first-ever MEAC Northern Division regular season title.

    Karagöz has also competed successfully on the professional tour, reaching a career high of 966 WTA singles ranking and a career-high ITF World Junior singles ranking of 269 in 2012. She was also a member of the Turkish National team. She also holds a Bachelor's degree in Management & Marketing from Tulane and a Master's of Mass Communication and Public Relations from Norfolk State.

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.

The $1.5 million facility upgrade included a complete resurfacing of all six courts with Deco Turf, a multi-layer cushioned tennis court surface that provides maximum player comfort with exceptional performance.
