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 experience:
Beginner: Players who are new to the game and have little to no formal instruction. They are focused on learning the fundamentals and the basic rules of tennis. Typically play for recreation and have very little or no match-play experience. USTA rating of 2.0 or lower, or no rating.
Intermediate: Players who can serve and maintain rallies with some consistency. They are fairly reliable with medium-paced shots but may struggle with certain strokes and lack precision in directional control and power. Generally play recreationally at their local club. USTA rating of 3.0.
- Advanced: Players with dependable strokes and strong directional control. They display an all-around competitive spirit, improved court coverage, and are developing strategies for both singles and doubles play. These players compete regularly at local clubs or travel to participate in USTA tournaments. USTA rating of 3.5 and above.

Passion for sharing their tennis skill
July 11, 2017: I attended three day adult camp on the first week of July, just because it was the only available adult camp for my area. I definitely would like to attend your camp for more days soon; I have witnessed the quality of your tennis camp, especially Ross and his team's passion for sharing their tennis skill last weekend. Thank you very much

Coach Ross was amazing!!!
July 12, 2017: My wife and I had fun at the camp and each learned some new tips to improve our game. Coach Ross was amazing!!! He was able to observe each camper, diagnose their weakness, and implement tips and drills to improve our games. He is a definite keeper! His enthusiasm and high energy throughout the camp was contagious! The various drills and team competitions were fun. The other coaches were not very good. Steven is a great player, was friendly and helpful, but too quiet and didn't provide enough coaching when we were on his court. Maddie should not be coaching adults. She seemed disinterested, unenthusiastic and didn't provide any coaching - low energy level. When she did try to run drills, her voice was too soft to hear her. She was also not effective at feeding balls in the drills. However she also was a very good player.

Ross was fantastic
July 17, 2015: Ross, the lead instructor, was fantastic and his instruction was very specific and tailored to meet my needs. Each time I was on his court, I felt like my game improved and I left with little things that I continue to use.
