A total of 10 players have earned 16 All-BIG EAST honors in Moreno’s previous six years, including two who were named the BIG EAST Player of the Year. Shadisha Robinson took home the honor in 2007 and Irene Rehberger followed in 2011. Moreno was named the league’s coach of the year in 2007 as well.

USF has never finished worse than fifth among 12 teams in the BIG EAST under Moreno, and has been the runner-up four times.

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.
