Reviews & Testimonials

Our daughter, Skye Gould, attended the tennis camp in Lake Tahoe last week and we would like to share our feedback. This summer was Skye's first year attending as an overnight camper - she had been looking forward to it for years! Although this was not our first experience at this camp... my older daughter had multiple years experience (pre-covid) as an overnight camper and both daughters joined when there was only a day camper option post covid - with Tony Greco as the director. We love Dave Allen (period!) and really hope that he continues on next summer as a director. Dave is an amazing coach, he is super positive and pours his heart into it. He works the kids hard and pushes them to be their best selves. We brought on 3 of Skye's friends to the camp this year and they all had a blast! We would highly recommend it again next year with Dave coaching. Thank you! Warm regards, Rachel Gould

Tony and staff are terrific. They create a camp family making campers feel welcome and special regardless of their tennis skill level. Tennis program is excellent with a good balance of drills and competition. This camp is great for all players, from beginners to big hitters.

The mix of skill building, camaraderie, fun and friendly competition. My kids were worried that the camp would be extreme - either all beginners or all experts. The camp accommodated a big range of abilities. The counselors brought tons of fun energy. Clearly they have a winning formula.

Overall great experience
Our player came back each day energized and positive. She seemed comfortable and confident with the environment at the camp. She got lots of time playing different players and getting to hit some balls mixed in with other smart ways to keep kids active and engaged such as a hiking trip, beach trip, dance activity. The awards ceremony at the end was fun and exciting too.

My daughter improved her tennis and learned more about the game!
While they did tennis drills and tournaments to improve their game, the camp also organized activities such as tie-dyes and Zumba’s for kids to take a break and have some fun. The coaches were very encouraging yet put a foundation to be kind to one another and the etiquette of tennis playing. I can see my daughter improved her tennis and learning about the game. Toni and his staff made a video and a graduation ceremony to celebrate the kids’ hard work that week and the parents got to see that in the video. My daughter can’t wait to go back again.

Pippa had the best time at camp - she made friends and loves tennis more than ever!

It was amazing for Cody. While his tennis game improved, his level of confidence overall is the gift. It was wonderful for him to engage with the group and hone his social skills after such a trying year. We'll certainly be back next year! Thank you to all!
