CAMP PROGRAM INFORMATION
- Camp Type(s) Offered: Half Day (9:00am-12:00pm) & Full Day (9:00am-3:00pm)
- Gender: Coed
- Age Range: 8-17
- Skill Level: Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced
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.
CAMP CHECK-IN/OUT
- Check-in: Campers will check in 8:30am-9:00am at the tennis courts. Instruction will begin at 9:00am.
- Check Out: Campers will check out at 12:00pm on Friday
CAMP SCHEDULE
- Day Camper Schedule: Monday-Thursday 9:00am-3:00pm, Friday 9:00am-12:00pm
- Half Day Camper Schedule: Monday-Friday: 9:00am-12:00pm
During the morning training session players will rotate through a variety of competitive-based drills to work on different skillsets. As players win they will move up and compete with better players and after losing they will move down. Rotations will be quick so players are not stuck with the same group for extended periods. After a short break for lunch, coaches will divide campers into teams and campers will play matches during the afternoon using college tennis rules. Coaches will provide immediate feedback while players try to implement the skills that were developed during the morning sessions.
MEALS
Lunch is not provided. Campers will need to bring their own lunch each day.
