Nike U12 Tennis Camp at St. John's High School

2025 CAMP DATES

• TBD

CAMP PROGRAM INFORMATION

• Camp Type(s) Offered: U12 Half Day (9:00am-11:30am) & U12 Full Day (9:00am-3:00pm)
• Gender: Coed
• Age Range: 6-12
• Skill Levels: Beginner & Intermediate
  • 12 and Under Program (U12): The "12 & Under Program" features the USTA’s successful teaching format. This is an exciting way for kids ages 12 & under to learn to play tennis as well as compete. The courts are age-appropriate and balls are low compression so they are easier to hit, allowing kids to get to the ball and develop optimal swing patterns. This program uses only RED, ORANGE, and GREEN BALLS.
• U12 Tournament Training Program: Advanced/Tournament level campers ages U12 can enroll in the U12 Tournament Training Program at Middlesex School

CAMP ADD-ONS

• Morning Fitness: Start the day strong with optional fitness sessions each morning from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. This add-on is available for an additional $60 for the week.
• Extra Day - Friday: Extend the camp experience with an additional half-day session on Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for an added cost of $60.

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.

• 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 with experience in recreational or club settings who possess a basic understanding of strokes and rules. They are able to serve and sustain rallies with consistency, comfortably handling medium-paced shots, though they may still struggle with certain strokes and directional control. Some players in this category may have participated in local tournaments and hold a UTR/USTA rating.
