    William really enjoyed how enthusiastic the coaches were! He felt very challenged and liked that they helped each player at the level they were at.
  • Season 2023
    I think this camp was an overall fun experience that my daughters enjoyed. They met friends and the focus of the camp is what was marketed. Positive experience.
  • Season 2023
    This was my daughter's first time away from home for an overnight camp. She was nervous, but the staff and manner in which events were scheduled were amazing. UVA is beautiful and she learned so much. She also made a lot of new friends in her suite. All around it was a perfect experience!
  • Season 2023
    Quality and reputation of the coached including high-level players and coaches such as Treat Huey.
  • Season 2023
    Sense of independence and bonding

    Getting exposed to strong tennis players in similar age range.
  • Season 2022
    Great experience with the camp staff and the other campers; great facilities and well organized; made it fun for the kids

    Meeting new friends, sleeping away from home while feeling safe, and enjoying a sport she loves.
  • Season 2022
    Super nice counselors, fun, well run, nice kids, nice accommodations, good tennis
  • Season 2022
    Got to play so much tennis!! Counselors were great role models and made the overnight stay fun.
  • Season 2021
    Ivy was greeted and felt comfortable and encouraged immediately upon arrival. She made friends. She enjoyed the games and the pace (fast, never boring, but never so fast as to be confusing). The camp coaches, especially Coach James, kept Ivy laughing and were super entertaining! The camp was also very well organized and they were well positioned to deal with minor snafus like her forgotten lunchbox and broken racquet strings (which turned into favorite memories also)! Ivy is definitely looking forward to returning again next year where we hope an overnight camp becomes an option. Overall I’m extremely impressed.
  • Season 2021
    Mallory had a great time. The instructors provided her with personal attention and were friendly. The camp atmosphere was upbeat and fun. There was plenty of breaks with water provided in the hot Virginia weather. Mallory would talk for hours at night after camp about what she learned, the other campers she met, and how fun the coaches were. It was a very positive experience and we will be back next year. Thank you for a great first tennis camp experience.
  • Season 2021
    Turi did not want this camp to end. His experience was probably the most positive one I have seen him have so far in his young (9 years old) life. Though I loved seeing the awesome positive energy and focus of all the coaching staff, I attribute the positive environment largely to the unbridled enthusiasm and positive influence of Brian Rasmussen. He is a force.
  • Season 2021
    This camp and its staff were so welcoming, and Zoe was nervous coming in. I saw that she made friends and actually enjoyed playing and learning despite the really hot weather all week. Knowing her, she would not have wanted to play after the first day in this heat if she didn't like it! The camp brought her out of her shell and gave her some confidence. Thank you!!
  • Season 2021
    My family has been attending the Nike tennis camps held by the UVA tennis staff for 3 summers. My daughters play tennis competitively throughout the year, and the Nike tennis camp has become a highlight of their training as they get to play with other fantastic players in a non-tournament structure. The coaching staff is fantastic as well, making each day in the court informative and fun!
  • Season 2021
    Daniel enjoyed being able to play tennis while building camaraderie with fellow campers and coaches. He was always excited being there and came home talking about some of the good plays that occurred that day.
  • Season 2021
    Dalton loved the coaches. All of them. They all taught a little different but he really loved them and talked a lot about them all week. He said he felt like he was getting better every day
  • Season 2021
    They LOVED it and cannot wait to go back next year. They learned so much and had a blast!!!!
  • Season 2021
    Lucas has always enjoyed tennis but was frustrated with his slow progress over the past couple years and that he was still just a mediocre player. After the first day at camp he excitedly told us he had already improved so much that he wanted to play a match with us to show us his new skills! His excitement and progress continued through the week as the coaches shared their amazing teaching skills and made everything so fun and engaging for everyone. Thank you!
  • Season 2021
    Ilias had a wonderful time at camp this past week. And thank you for giving him a good workout so he was exhausted at the end of the day!
  • Season 2019
    It was his first time attending a full week camp like this, so we weren't sure how he'd hold-up. However, he had a really good time each day, and he has already asked us about attending next year. It seemed to be very well run, and I think the camp instructors clicked very well with the kids.
  • Season 2018
    Harrison had a terrific time during group lessons and said his game improved tremendously. All around fantastic camp!

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.

  • Instruction: Daily tennis training, morning and afternoon sessions
  • Housing (Overnight Campers only): University of Virginia - Fitzhugh Dorms
