CAMP PROGRAMS
The Nike Tennis Camp at the University of Arkansas is open to any and all entrants, limited only by age, grade level, number of campers, and/or gender. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.
- All Skills Program: The All Skills program is designed for tennis players of any skill level and background. Campers will learn fundamentals and improve upon their game.
- 10 & Under Tennis Program: The 10&Under Tennis Program is geared towards players ages 6-10 who are just learning the sport. '10 & Under Tennis' follows the logic of other youth sports: balls bounce lower, move slower through the air, and are easier to hit. Racquets are sized for small hands and courts are smaller and easier to cover. By using this format, the benefits are immediate, and very quickly little kids are rallying, playing, and excited to keep playing! This program includes tennis drills and match-play sessions.
