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. Participants 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 experience:
Beginner: Players who are new to the game and have little to no formal instruction. They are focused on learning the fundamentals and the basic rules of tennis. Typically play for recreation and have very little or no match-play experience. USTA rating of 2.0 or lower, or no rating.
Intermediate: Players who can serve and maintain rallies with some consistency. They are fairly reliable with medium-paced shots but may struggle with certain strokes and lack precision in directional control and power. Generally play recreationally at their local club. USTA rating of 3.0.
- Advanced: Players with dependable strokes and strong directional control. They display an all-around competitive spirit, improved court coverage, and are developing strategies for both singles and doubles play. These players compete regularly at local clubs or travel to participate in USTA tournaments. USTA rating of 3.5 and above.

Martin gives great insights on the video analysis and really helps bring your game up a notch. The variety of rotations always keeps things fresh and interesting.

Great staff that provided a great atmosphere to play tennis
Liked the pace of the class, how quickly I was grouped with people of my skill level and the high number of balls I hit in a short period of time. Not since childhood sleep-away camp, have I felt such freedom and joy during a summer adventure. It gave me the freedom to focus solely on building my tennis skills and having fun. The staff ensured that all my needs were looked after, and I was surrounded by encouragement. The coaches and fellow campers kept the energy level and learning dialed to the max! Can't wait to do it again next summer!

Great tennis experience

Great results from just a weekend of tennis
Very upbeat and positive experience thanks to great staff. You won’t transform your game in one weekend but camp offers a route to make adjustments and improvements to your game. You’ll have a blast while learning from some great players.
August 12, 2019 -
Beautiful place to play some tennis
Great energy and lots of fun tennis. I worked to be grouped with players at a similar level and then also have some time to play with players at different levels. Beautiful setting.
August 12, 2019 -
Great ratio of campers to coaches
The pro to player ratio was 1:4. This allowed for a large amount of instruction. The quality of instruction was the most impressive thing about this camp. Their lessons and individual analysis improved my game. I look forward to next year!
August 12, 2019 -
Fast pace camp full of instruction
The great pace- moving from instruction to practice so we never got bored or moved on from skills to fast.
August 12, 2019 -
Coaches were excellent, encouraging, and friendly
This was a well-run camp. All the coaches were excellent, encouraging, and friendly. I definitely recommend it and would have stayed another day to play more!

By far the best weekend tennis camp
I had the privilege of attending the Nike Temp Camp at Pepperdine University last weekend. This is my third Nike weekend tennis camp and by far the best. It was located at Malibu, California. Needless to say, the scenery was breath taking. Not only is it one of prettiest places in the country, but the head coach Martin Parkes was absolutely amazing. The minute I arrived was treat with the utmost respect by he and his whole staff. I learned more from them in three days than four years of private lessons. They were professional and able to teach me some helpful techniques to help me play better. I believe that there were 36 or 37 in our group and everyone had very high praise for Martin and the staff. THEY WERE A 10!!!!!! I am planning on returning next year with a few of my tennis friends to this camp. It was the best.
