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:

• 10 & Under: The 10 & Under program is designed for beginner players, ages 6-10 to introduce young players to the game of tennis in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way. Using smaller courts, softer balls, and lighter racquets, this program focuses on developing fundamental skills such as hand-eye coordination, basic stroke techniques, and game play in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Players will learn the basics of tennis through games and activities that promote movement, teamwork, and confidence, while building a strong foundation for continued growth in the sport.

• Beginner (Ages 11-17): 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.

• Full & Half Day Check-in: All campers will check in between 9:00am and 9:30am daily at the tennis courts
• Full Day Check-out: Check-out will be at 4:00pm daily at the tennis courts for Full Day campers
• Half Day Check-out: Check-out will be at 12:00pm daily at the tennis courts for Half Day campers

• Full Day Camper Schedule: Monday-Thursday 9:30am-4:00pm
