NIKE TENNIS CAMP AT OAK BROOK SPORTS CORE (Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced)

NIKE TENNIS COLLEGE PREP CAMP AT OAK BROOK SPORTS CORE (Advanced Only)

Is your advanced tennis player interested in a College Prep Tennis Camp? The Nike Tennis College Prep Camp at Oak Brook Sports Core is designed specifically for advanced players, ages 13-18 who are aspiring to be collegiate players and are established competitors with a UTR rating of 4.5 and above and a WTN of 30 or below.

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.
