BRAND NEW CAMP IN 2012
Join the Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camp at Colorado College for an incredible week of tennis! Under the guidance of head men’s and women’s coach, Todd Doebler, campers will learn the latest tennis techniques, tactics and strategies through on-court instruction, competitive drills and singles and doubles match play.
Coach Doebler has been at the forefront of college tennis for the past 15 years, first as an assistant at Pepperdine University and the University of Notre Dame, then as the head men’s coach at Penn State University and currently at Colorado College.
Each camper will receive instruction on the fundamentals of all major strokes and will enhance their skills through repetition, ball-feeding drills, live-ball situations and competitive match play. In addition, campers will be exposed to team competition and match play in singles and doubles. These camps are excellent preparation for anyone interested in participating in middle school, high school or USTA team tennis, or preparing to compete in USTA leagues and/or tournaments.
The Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camp at Colorado College will be hosted on the newly remodeled varsity tennis complex and the camp will have access to the picturesque campus facilities, including the El Pomar Athletic Complex.

Programs Offered at Colorado College
The Colorado College camp is a traditional day camp running from 9:00 am. - 4:00 pm. daily.
TRADITIONAL CAMPS: Our traditional tennis camps (non match-play or college prep) are designed to focus on the fundamentals and swing techniques of the modern tennis strokes. Some of the areas of focus for each level include:
• Beginners: The beginning level player will be introduced to the basics of the game. Emphasis will be placed on stroke production and the technical aspects of the swing in an effort to teach these young players sound fundamentals from the ground up.
• Intermediate: Intermediate level players will also focus on fundamental stroke production (to ensure proper technique), but will also be in put into game play situations to introduce these players to the competitive side of the game.
• Advanced: The more advanced players will work with stroke production in a competitive environment, but will also be introduced to the basic strategies of the game.
• High School / Tournament: Varsity high school and tournament players will focus on the strategic and competitive aspects of the game. Although there will be attention spent on the stroke fundamentals, more emphasis will be placed on point progression, court positioning, patterns and sequences, percentage plays and live ball drill work.
