CAMP PROGRAM INFORMATION

  • Camp Type(s) Offered: Full Day (9:00am-3:00pm)
  • Gender: Coed
  • Age Range: 8-17
  • Skill Level: Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced

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.

Reviews & Testimonials

  • Camp was great!

    June 26, 2021: We only wish the camp was more than just one week! It was great!

    • 4/5.
  • Encouraged to work hard and had fun!

    June 26, 2021: Upon pickup each day, Ingrid reported that she was encouraged to work hard, but had so much fun (even when the weather did not cooperate). She especially liked the coaches, including Erik. It sounds like he had good energy and humor. She loved that he used the term “winners and learners,” rather than “winners and losers.”

    • 5/5.
  • Great experience!

    June 26, 2021: Sean said every day was fun. They were long, hot days, but the instructors made it fun enough that Sean was happy to keep going ever day. Thanks for making it such a great experience for him!
