Nike Adult Malibu Tennis Camp at Pepperdine University

All Reviews about Nike Adult Malibu Tennis Camp at Pepperdine University

• Great coaches, demonstrations to die for

  Video analysis (humiliating but helpful), every single person so nice and so fun....also the coaching demonstrations were hilarious -- I could've watched those all day! I will definitely return next summer. I wish camp were longer (and I wish there were overnight camps for adults). I would probably have skipped dinner on Friday night and played instead, then just left for the day earlier
• Learned so much and had a blast

  The coaches were incredible! Martin did a great job and everyone was in really good spirits! Learned so much and had a blast! I could not have asked for a better weekend at camp! Loved celebrating my birthday here too! Martin and the gang even got me a cake and had everyone sing. So special! I really appreciated it!
• 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!

• Amazing Staff!

  The staff was amazing. Great tennis courts. Fun drills and activities
• 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.
• detailed feedback was helpful

  7/27/2016 - The video taping and detailed feedback was the most helpful for me. I am using your suggestions right away. Thank you so much.
• Great tennis experience

  Great coaching, fun activities, fun hitting with the high level college players.
• Will definitely be back

  Very impressed and will definitely be back.
• 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!
• 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!
• Two thumbs up!

  The team was fantastic. Professional, excellent teachers, and great positive energy and very nice. The format was really well organized and we had a blast. Hats off to Martin and his folks, we were incredibly impressed and so much fun. A great group. Two thumbs up!
• 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.
• It was outstanding

  I took both weekends. It was outstanding. Incredibly well organized. Martin ran the schedule with military precision to maximize playing/learning time. All the coaches were top notch.
• Will come back!

  I had a really good time at camp and will come back! I especially appreciated the feedback on the video and I liked beginning each day watching the staff demonstrate strokes and strategy.
• Analysis and developing my serve was helpful

  I love getting to see the tape of my strokes and getting to hear Martin’s analysis. The serve clinic was particularly helpful
• Really appreciate the 4:1 ratio

  Excellent lessons and tips to refine my tennis skills. Really appreciated the 4:1 ratio student and coach
• Such a fun weekend. coaches were fantastic

  Loved it! Such a fun weekend and coaches were fantastic -- not a weak one in the bunch. Great setting!
• staff was extraordinary

  8/10/2015 - I felt the staff was extraordinary. I appreciated their skills, attitude and commitment to making sure everyone's needs were met during the drills.
• 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
• Great coaches and drills

  I enjoyed the drills with different instructors
• fun and hard work

  8/10/2015 - Really enjoyed the crew as they made thing fun, but still you had to work hard!
• Great setting to improve my skills

  Lots of fun. Lots of playing time. Lots of skills addresses. Setting is awesome
• Great learning curve to how I play tennis

  Enjoyed the live ball and the different areas dedicated to specific strokes. Coaches were all amazing always motivated and prepared. Really great group of coaches! Also enjoy Martins approach to the game from a physiological aspect! Weekend really changed how I approach tennis.
• a great time!

  7/27/2016 - Was a great time. Really enjoyed the weekend.
• Great helpful group of coaches

  Loved watching the demonstrations and specifically focusing on improving with these coaches based on their actual ability to execute and articulate how to do so. Super helpful bunch of young coaches/players
• Definitely hoping to return next year

  I really liked how the time was structured, with a little bit of demo time, where we got to watch the coaches play and demonstrate certain skills, and then we would get to practice specific skills. I loved the rotation, where we got to practice and get coached in all different aspects of the game. The videotaping was very helpful. Would have been great to have a little bit more time for that rotation, as it was hard to make it through all 4 people. However, even though I was the last one and only got the chance for quick feedback, it was very helpful to take in all of the tips given to the others. And the advice I got was a slight grip change that has been very helpful to continue playing around with. I thought Martin was an excellent director -- I loved his very positive, active and encouraging approach. I felt he was very respectful of everyone, from the other coaches to the campers, and very knowledgeable. I'm definitely hoping to return next year!
• This camp was awesome

  This camp was awesome. I wished that I had attended camps like this sooner. I learned a lot, made new friends, and it was a lot of fun. I will definitely be attending this camps in the future.I really like your coaches. They are so enthusiastic and seemed genuinely enjoy working with us camper. I would encourage them to be more vocal in providing feedback. We are there to learn and appreciate any feedback they can give. Don't worry about being polite because we are older, or because we are paying guests. We are here to learn.For me the eurika moment is the video analysis. I had no idea that I was doing it all wrong! It was a humbling moment. It would be awesome, if we could have gotten video analysis on all aspects of our game. But then again, this was a weekend camp, and I understand we have limited time.

• The live ball tournament was really fun as it gave everyone a chance to just play and enjoy the game! While it was competitive, you also had a chance to work on your skills and practice. It was great meeting all the coaches/campers and learning about everyone's backgrounds.
• Saturday's rotation was so beneficial touching on a wide variety of skills and instruction. Sunday was fun and exciting way to put some of the skills learned into practice. The video breakdown was also extremely helpful.
• Having so many highly qualified coaches and top level players leading the camp. Martin is unmatched in his ability to attract and integrate top tennis talent into the camp in a fun and organized manner.
• The experience and skills of the coaches as well as the organization of the quality of how the hours of tennis were put together.

• Top notch coaches, excellent technical instruction, and a lot of tennis!

• Different stations for specific work on skills

• more live ball like the first night of camp.

  I would have liked more live ball, like the first night of camp.
• Loved the camp. Will be back

  I thought the Director Scott was excellent. He was very focused on making camp a great experience and you could tell he was very motivated. I felt the experienced coaches like did a great job, gave feedback and kept the energy level high. One piece of feedback, many of the women commented that they would not wear the men's cut t-shirt given at the end of camp. It would be better if you gave us Nike branded towels at the beginning of camp. Loved the camp. Will be back.
• coaches helped me greatly

  8/10/2015 - I would have appreciated more specific ground stroke drills to work on mechanics. Otherwise, I think the coaches helped me greatly with my serve and volleys.
• Helps bring your game up a notch

  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. It is really fun getting to hit with the college level players because it is a great workout and makes you appreciate their skill level and what you need to work on.
• 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.
• Great place to play tennis

  Great group of instructors. Helpful staff. Nice facility

• Need better signage, but incredible experience!

  8/1/2015 - My only criticism is that no signage was provided for the camp to direct patrons in regard to parking. Other than that, it was an incredible experience!
