All Reviews about Nike Tennis Camp at Emory University

12 Reviews

  • My son had a superb experience. Despite being one of the youngest ones there he was challenged and treated superbly well. I attempted to pick them up after a half day on the Fourth of July, and my son insisted he wanted to stay for the rest of the camp. The coaches are great, and are well suited and trained to teach children. I’m very impressed and will continue to send my son to Emory Nike Tennis Camp.
  • Our daughters camp experience was excellent. She left home with zero tennis experience & knowledge & came back with a lot. She was glad to make friends and learn tennis.
  • She was very enthusiastic after camp and has continued to pursue her interest in the sport. The camp was top notch she is looking forward to next year.
  • Our son had a great time with the coaches and could name all of them within a day! The camp did a great job of rotating campers/coaches which is always exciting for a child and also a nice challenge as they gain all sorts of feedback. Both of my children have begged to go more weeks next summer. This camp does an excellent job of balancing fun with real tennis instruction so the students feel they are there to work hard but parents also feel their money is well spent.
  • We signed our six year old with no tennis experience up for four weeks of tennis camp due to logistics and were worried we might be doing the wrong thing. He had a wonderful summer and never complained once. I attribute this to the low teacher to student ratio and the indoor tennis facilities for hot days. He enjoyed the independence of getting to buy snacks in a college cafeteria.
  • My daughter loved the independence and the opportunity for lots of feedback across the day. She also loved staying in the sorority house.
  • The fact that my child enjoyed herself. She tend to be withdrawn in social settings and shared that she would like to attend next year.
  • Catalina came home in such a great mood every day! We could tell she had a great time and she went on and on about what she learned!
  • More rigorous training on skills and feedback than other tennis camps he's attended
  • Indoor tennis option for Atlanta's hot summer weather.
  • The instructors were very attentive and encouraging
  • Learning new skills and building confidence

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.
