    Knox got to play a lot of training games that he enjoyed like Jailbreak and Milkshake. He had a good time in super hot conditions, so the coaches must do a great job of reminding them to take water breaks and stay cool. Fun half day option for camp!

    They particularly enjoyed the competitions after the drills that were based upon the proper levels of players playing against each other
  • Season 2018
    This was our second year and I think this year was even better than last year. My kids loved the camp and the coach. They liked tennis before, but this past week made them love it to the point that one of my kids felt tennis could become his main sport.

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: Monday-Friday: Drop off is at 8:30am for all campers at the GW Tennis Center (5 min yellow zone). Campers should come dressed to play as we will head straight to the courts after check-in.
