Coming back next year!
July 24, 2021: As soon as we checked in she found friends, and by the sounds of things she learned a lot of new things and was given tips on ways to make old things better. She loved the camp, we hadn’t even left the campus and she asked if she could come next year! Being that the University of Georgia is a family favorite she also made it quite clear that UGA is where’s she plans on going to college!

Best coaching any of them have every gotten
June 8, 2019: The whole experience was a taste of actual college life, from the housing, the sports, and the campus. I overheard Jeff Wallace answering the girls' questions during a break. Best coaching any of them have ever gotten, even if they don't realize it yet. The camp is part of making them the best tennis players they can be, while be very clear and realistic about scholarships, time commitment, and competition to play NCAA Div 1 sports.
