HIGHER LEARNING FOR YOUR GAME
Notre Dame joins the Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps
Train with two of College Tennis’ top coaches at the Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camp at the University of Notre Dame. One of the oldest and most prestigious tennis camps in the nation, the Notre Dame camp offers a comprehensive instructional camp program directed and led by Head Women’s Coach Jay Louderback and Head Men’s Coach Bobby Baylis. These two top coaches have more than 60 years combined experience working with some of the countries top young players.
A personal note from the coaches:
“Your 2012 camp experience will be fun, educational, & rewarding. Please know that each camper’s safety and welfare are our top priority and that camp instruction will be provided by one of the nation’s elite coaching staffs; that of the Fighting Irish.
The camp experience will provide an opportunity to fine tune your skills within some of the finest athletic complexes in the country, including the beautiful Eck Tennis Pavilion. You will also have the opportunity to play with and against some of the best players in the country each day!
We will be offering four camp sessions (June 10-13, June 17-20, June 24-27 and July 1-4) over the course of the 2012 summer season and with the help of the Notre Dame coaching staff as well as current Notre Dame players, we have put together a camp program that is second to none. We look forward to seeing you in the summer of 2012.
Sincerely,Bobby Bayliss and Jay Louderback
I attended the Navy/Notre Dame game in Dublin, Ireland in 1996 (legendary Croke Park) with a coetignnt of my host Dubliners while on a business trip. I had no horse in the race (I am a Duke guy), but I found myself swelling with pride as I explained to the “true” Irish that these two American institutions represented all that was right about American college sports; and, indeed, America itself. The Dubliners were polite, but confused as to the import of the game (and the rules!) to the few US fans who attended. They laughed awkwardly, but graciously at the Notre Dame mascot and the kilts that several ND fans wore. My hosts thought I may have been a bit Guiness-infected as I cheered for BOTH teams. It was a cross-cultural sports comedy fiasco. Alas, I believe that the American Irish won the game (54-27?); and I laughed so hard when the Dublin paper covered the game the following morning with the lead sub-tag: “The Americans have confused their kilts with their Celts.” LOL!!!! Great post, John.
