    Marcos Salazar was chosen to head the Montreat men’s and women’s tennis teams in January of 2024. He enters his first season with the Cavaliers during the 2024-25 academic year. Salazar came to Montreat following time as a graduate assistant at St. Thomas University. With the Arequipa, Peru native on staff last season, both the Bobcat men and women made the NAIA National Tournament.

    Director

    Prior to his time at STU, Salazar played collegiate tennis at the University of Northwest Ohio from the 2017-18 school year through the 2021-22 season. As a team, the Racers held an 83-35 overall record and a perfect 25-0 conference campaign during the 5-year span, while moving on to the national tournament every one of the four seasons not disrupted by COVID-19. In 2021 and 2022, UNOH ended Montreat’s season in the national tournament.

    Individually, Salazar ended his career as the all-time winningest player in school history with 177 victories. He was a 2-time honorable mention All-American and a 4-time First Team All-Conference athlete, reaching as high as No. 4 in doubles rankings and as high as No. 14 in singles ratings.

    While attending UNOH, Salazar worked at The Dunes Club as a racquets director assistant for three summers. Before then, he was involved with the high performance and development program at Westwood Tennis and Fitness. From 2018 to 2022, Salazar trained middle school tennis athletes in the program who went on to qualify for state tournaments.

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.
