CAMP PROGRAMS
- All Skills Program: The All Skills Program is geared towards players ages 10-18 of all skill levels. This program is geared towards beginners through advanced players who love this sport. This program includes tennis drills, match-play sessions, and some strength & injury prevention training, conditioning for footwork, speed, agility, and endurance.
- 10 & Under Tennis Program: The 10&Under Tennis Program is geared towards players ages 5-10 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.
- High Performance Clinic: The High Performance sessions at Seattle U. are special high-intensity options for players looking to advance to the next level. Players will go through 3 hours of intensive training including specific work on essential areas such as strategy, match-like scenarios, and breaking down techniques for certain shots. A low ratio of 4 players to 1 coach will be maintained so that the high-quality coaching staff can provide optimal instruction throughout the strength, conditioning, footwork, and tennis drills. Players will have the opportunity to chat with coaches about the college experience, and professional level, or discuss any of their personal goals so we can help and advise what may be the best plan for them. These are 1-day clinics, 9:00am-12:00pm for players ages 13-18.
- We offer Full Day Camps, Monday- Thursday (9:00am-4:00pm) for boys and girls, ages 5-18, with All Skills and 10&Under Tennis programs each week. New in 2023, we also offer High Performance clinics on Saturdays throughout the summer for high-level players ages 13-18.

Loved it but needed more breaks
July 6, 2021: Lucas and Dylan overall had a great time. I’m not sure how much more break time they had outside of the hour long lunch break, it sounded like not much which I think was really tough especially when you’re outside and constantly in the sun.

Thanks for a great experience!

Love the camp and coaches
July 28, 2017: Wish we have an option to play indoor half of a day. Playing outside in the sun all day is too much for my 5-year old boy, but he loves this camp and coaches and wants to stay for whole day camps.
— June G. Parent

Will be back next year!
July 29, 2017: This is Ravi's third year at Nike Tennis Camp. This year's staff and head coach are wonderful. He had a rough time last year a few days (tears at the end of camp) because everything was directed to an older group, but this year the ages of campers are more diverse, and the staff addresses all levels and ages. Well done, and very much appreciated. Ravi will be back for a few weeks next year!

My child had a lot of fun
7/23/2015 - My child had a lot of fun over the two weeks he was in camp. He's showing much more interest in tennis, and says that he has fun everyday. He can be overwhelmed by a large group of people, so it would have been nice to have a greeter of sorts, and a router, in that someone says hello to the campers and then directs them to a court or activity in progress, rather than having him watch for a while and try to figure out where to jump in. He just turned six, so maybe something to consider for the younger kids.
— Eileen W. Parent

cost too much, but good camp
7/21/2015 - While I thought the camp was very well run, cost was a concern. Would have considered two weeks, but was too pricey for the time. Having said that, it was a great first introduction to the sport for my kids.
— Mary L. Parent
-
coaches are awesome
7/21/2015 - The coaches are awesome. My son is so happy that despite migraines he wants to keep going! I wish that we could find these kind of coaches and training throughout the year!
— Roberta W. Parent
-
enjoyed the camp
7/15/2015 - My son enjoyed the camp. Your instructors made it fun which was great. Only part my son did not care for was that it was repetitive and he really wanted even more challenges. It would be cool if there was an advanced course to try out for. My son would definitely want to participate in that camp.
