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.

son loved the camp
July 27, 2016: My son loved the camp. I wish there was a better area for drop off/pick up. I wish there was a more of 'get to know you' between parents and coaches. Tennis camp we previously attended had lot more on these and I think it helps.

Loved all of the tennis games
July 29, 2019: 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

Video analysis was great
July 24, 2017: Video analysis was great idea. I registered 4 weeks of Tennis and it is a great tool to see her improvement through video analysis. Hope that this program can cater this kind of student who register several weeks to improve individual level!
May 15, 2025 -
amazing staff
August 12, 2016: Ryan, the assist. Director at Amherst College was amazing. So funny, didn't treat the kids like babies, and did such a good job entertaining the kids during a rain delay and made sure our daughter was comfortable in her dorm.

son wants to do another week
July 16, 2016: My son loved this camp and asked if he could do another week.

tennis instruction was outstanding
7/27/2015 -The tennis instruction was outstanding. My daughter felt that she made great improvements in her play. The Camp provided a perfect level of supervision mixed with autonomy; which was important for a tween. I wish there had ben more tweens/teens but it may be that the older kids attend camps later in the summer (she attended the first two weeks).
May 15, 2025 -
Can't wait to come back next summer!
July 26, 2019: The best feedback he has given to us is that he wants to come back to the camp next summer. He has been playing a lot of tennis, the teachers had a great attitude as well as the other children in camp. He barely speaks English and everybody has helped him a lot. Thanks for those awesome days.

Came home happy
August 16, 2017: The kids came home happy from their morning camp each day. They both liked playing jail and getting prizes on the last day.
May 15, 2025 -
Loved learning about the sport
August 8, 2017: Victor loved learning about the sport - he is having fun throwing around lingo about his volleys... We're hoping this sets him down a path where he continues practicing and learning more about tennis, practicing/working hard, and competition.

Teachers worked with the kids on their game
July 28, 2017: The camp seems to have improved since 2015. Dividing the kids into two age groups was a good idea. Teachers seemed to be working with the kids on their game. Noam was in good spirits at the end othe day. He felt more confident. Having camp extend until Friday would make it better, and a better deal.

coaches are great
August 12, 2016: All the coaches are great, but it's really fun to have a different one every day of the week. Unfortunately, I was there for several weeks, often on the highest courts, and the same coach remained on those courts the entire week.
May 15, 2025 -
Lots of match play
August 10, 2018: Sophia’s favorite part of camp was when they played against each other. She felt that she got more out of actually playing as opposed to other camps that focused heavily on drills with very little match play
