What Makes the FSU Camp Special?
Returning for their 17th year, the Seminole High Performance Tennis Camps are directed by Head Men’s Coach Dwayne Hultquist and take place on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL. Hultquist runs these camps with the personal needs of each camper in mind. Small groups, collegiate-style drilling, and individualized instruction are the cornerstone trademarks of the camp combined with competitive match play and mental toughness training make this a top tennis camp in the country. The FSU camp offers on-court video analysis for each camper, delivering instant feedback to help campers achieve technical development while at camp. The FSU coaches work diligently to satisfy the needs of all campers on and off the court, with exciting nightly activities and delicious catered food. Each camp will have a limited enrollment to ensure that Coach Hultquist will have the opportunity to work with each student during their stay at camp.

Coaches did a good job of making sure they grouped them by skill level
June 21, 2019: Our son had never played against any players of this caliber before. I was concerned he would feel overwhelmed. The coaches did a good job of making sure the players played against their same skill level. Additionally, they also worked in higher skilled players with them so they could see that as well. He loved it!! He also said he liked the cafeteria. Ha! Good job Dwayne and the rest of the coaches.

Great instruction and variety of drills
