CAMP PROGRAM INFORMATION

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. At the time of registration, please choose the level that best represents your athlete's experience:
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 who can serve and sustain rallies with consistency. They are comfortable hitting medium-paced shots but may struggle with all strokes and directional control. Some may have participated in local tournaments and possess a UTR rating or are equivalent to a High School JV player.
Advanced: Players with dependable strokes and solid directional control. They demonstrate a strong competitive spirit, improved court coverage, and are developing strategies for both singles and doubles play. These players frequently compete in tournaments and have a USTA or UTR rating, or are equivalent to a High School Varsity player.

Coming back next year!
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!

Loved every minute of it!
Anna had such an amazing time at camp - she improved her skills, made friends, and most importantly had fun. She finally was able to perfect her serve, which has been her biggest weakness in her tennis game to date. She loved every minute of it, and will definitely want to come back next year.

Gained confidence at the net
Hunter raved about the doubles experience she received at camp. Before camp, she hated playing doubles because she just didn't have the experience and felt she was the weaker player...after camp, she talked about how much confidence she gained especially at the net during the doubles sessions. She also loved the experience she gained in her volleys. She will definitely be back next year!

Best coaching any of them have every gotten
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.
