Would have liked to stay at each "station" longer
July 14, 2017: Would have liked to stay at each "station" for a longer amount of time before "shuffling" to another station. The college-age staffers could have displayed more energy and been a little more informative; they could have been more engaging.

Had an incredible time
July 18, 2017: I had an incredible time at the Nike tennis camp at Stanford, and playing with the university coaches was really inspiring. Overall, I would definitely come back and have already recommended the Nike tennis camps to friends. My only critique is that some of the college-age coaches were less helpful in giving feedback. They were obviously amazing players in great college programs, but had less experience coaching/ translating what they know how to do to a beginner-intermediate player. It didn't detract from my overall high opinion of the program, but the variance in coaching experience court by court was very obvious.

concepts were clearly explained
August 28, 2016: The instructors were good and the concepts were clearly explained. I would prefer to have a longer time in practicing specific strokes learned in each segment. A full-day program instead of half-day program should allow for that.

A great experience overall
August 18, 2016: A great experience overall. The groupings seemed very well put together and all of the coaches were very encouraging. Some place to store valuables might be nice too. Thanks.
— Bruce K. Camper

fun!
June 30, 2016: Brandon keeps things light and fun; Lenny & Stephen are interactive, but not intrusively so; the college player/coaches are fun to be around, because of their youth and enthusiasm for tennis.
— Bill J. Camper
