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.

Coach Dave and Coach Eglis are amazing. Coach Dave provide practical on court tactics and strategy, especially how to beat a pusher and more importantly, the mental part of the game which is so important. Coach Eglis gave Kyle unbelievable lesson on tactics, drills and valuable lessons on serves and ground strokes. A summer well spent !

Loved all of the tennis games
He loved all the tennis games (King of the Court and Jail) and everyone seemed to know who he was, which was beautiful to see. He also liked that he played with different people, and one could switch any time.
