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.

Send the parents pictures!

Can't wait for next summer
July 17, 2021: She loved it!!! She is usually a reluctant tennis player and a bit lazy at times, but she had a great time and was exhausted at the end of every day but was still enthusiastic and looking to return every morning.

better care from counselors

BIG 5 STAR
July 27, 2021: I loved that the second I dropped off Christian the counselors instantly recognized him and welcomed with a big Awesome, Christian's back! It honestly set the tone for the entire week. This is our second time at the camp this summer. The first time my son went with a friend but the second time he had no problem going solo. That is a BIG 5 STAR camp in my book! Any kid, especially my son, who wants to go back to a camp where he doesn't know anyone speaks volumes to the staff at this camp. We will back next year for sure!

cannot say enough positive things
7/28/2015 - My daughter enjoyed this camp so much last year that she insisted on returning... and returning to this same location, Pepperdine. She was not disappointed. This year she said even exceeded her expectations from the last year!! The coaches were all excellent and they really did a wonderful job keeping the enthusiasm high!! I cannot say enough positive things. As a parent, I want to see improvement and Caroline came home with very practical advice to help her with her strokes and game in general. We can say these things until we are blue in the face, but hearing them from a peer was very powerful. The only down side to this camp is having it end at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon. The traffic was horrible. I would suggest having the camp run from Monday-Saturday!! Thanks again!
-
Had the best time and felt encouraged
July 10, 2021: Aria had the best time. He felt encouraged and every day came back enthusiastic and ready for the next day. He loved the coaches and counselors. Thanks

Staff was fantastic!
7/9/2015 - Staff was fantastic. This was my son's first overnight camp. He had a blast. We gave him a phone in case he wanted to touch base. He called twice to tell us how much fun he was having & then sent texts (with apologies) because he was so busy with tennis & other fun activities to call.....
-
Looked forward to each day

by far my favorite camp!
July 27, 2016: I loved the camp and my counselor Jarred that I had for three weeks. He was amazing and made the camp a lot of fun. He interacted with us all the time.

My parents and I highly recommend this camp and I will definitely be back next year, as well as my sister. I have been to different camps and this by far was my favorite!

Send the parents pictures!
July 10, 2021: It was well run and she really enjoyed the variety of activities at the pace of the day. Given that parents were not allowed to watch under the current circumstances, it would’ve been nice if there had been pictures taken of our players playing and sent to the parents at some point during the week.

BIG 5 STAR
July 27, 2021: I loved that the second I dropped off Christian the counselors instantly recognized him and welcomed with a big Awesome, Christian's back! It honestly set the tone for the entire week. This is our second time at the camp this summer. The first time my son went with a friend but the second time he had no problem going solo. That is a BIG 5 STAR camp in my book! Any kid, especially my son, who wants to go back to a camp where he doesn't know anyone speaks volumes to the staff at this camp. We will back next year for sure!

cannot say enough positive things
7/28/2015 - My daughter enjoyed this camp so much last year that she insisted on returning... and returning to this same location, Pepperdine. She was not disappointed. This year she said even exceeded her expectations from the last year!! The coaches were all excellent and they really did a wonderful job keeping the enthusiasm high!! I cannot say enough positive things. As a parent, I want to see improvement and Caroline came home with very practical advice to help her with her strokes and game in general. We can say these things until we are blue in the face, but hearing them from a peer was very powerful. The only down side to this camp is having it end at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon. The traffic was horrible. I would suggest having the camp run from Monday-Saturday!! Thanks again!
-

Staff was fantastic!
