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.

Best camp ever
This is the best camp my daughter Sandra has ever attended!! and she has been in many camps - in Minnesota for the last 2 summers and a lot around Europe, where we moved from in 2015. They are the best on all the levels: the tennis skills our children acquire in a week are impressive; all the coaches are role models, great at interacting with kids but also motivating them, the facilities are top notch!! Sandra can't wait to go again every summer!! Congratulations to Geoff and Dana, who are the beating heart of this camp!!

I was blown away at how organized the camp was. The check in process was a breeze, and having so many people in place to tell us where to go really helped to ease my daughters anxiety about the new experience. She absolutely loves it and would want to do another week.

More camp please!
Joshua loves the camp. He wishes this camp went all summer, even though it was longer than his normal daily tennis sessions, it was such a good mix of instruction and fun that he never got tired of it. In fact, each week it ended, he begged me to sign him up for another.

All around improvement
The team tournaments were super fun and always playing different people with different strengths and weaknesses made me improve as a player. I loved the constant instruction on strategies and stroke improvement to help me succeed in the match.

Professionally run tennis camp that worked on essentials
Our son felt that the camp leaders were encouraging and very helpful. He is a beginner and learned a lot in just a short time. His evaluation included very specific direction that we (parents) can follow as we play tennis with Luke. We have played tennis with him several times since the end of camp - he definitely wants to keep learning and improving. The camp is very well run and the camp leaders very helpful and knowledgeable. This camp was what we were looking for - a professionally run tennis camp that worked on essentials - not a place to park our kid for a week.

Loved every minute
She loved every minute of her time at camp at the U of M. She enjoyed the drills and the competition between the different teams - including the ping pong, capture the flag, and other non-tennis activities. She loved meeting campers from around the region and got a lot out of her interactions with the coaches. She played a tournament two weeks before camp and then on the weekend after camp and the difference was noticeable. She incorporated some of the skills she worked on in camp and some of the strategies that were discussed. She has played or practiced every day since returning and has worked on the new skills she learned at camp.
