USC Winter Camps

USC Winter Camps
Los Angeles, CA

Full Day

The Winter Tennis Camps at the University of Southern California (USC) is set to provide another winter of top-tier instruction in a dynamic and competitive environment. Directed by Men's Associate Head Coach Marc Lucero and his staff, the camp welcomes boys and girls ages 9-18 of all skill levels.

Each camper will receive personalized attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work, and engaging game and match play. Campers are organized into small groups based on age and ability to ensure everyone learns within their skill level. Our program adapts to the needs of each camper: beginners will focus on swing technique and fundamentals, while advanced players dive into strategy, point building, and percentage tennis.

These camps will be led by Men's Associate Head Coach Marc Lucero and the content will be based on his background in professional tennis and the lessons he's learned coaching on tour and preparing his players to compete against the best players in the world on the biggest stages in the game. Unlock the secrets of the pros with Coach Marc this winter!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CAMP INCLUDE:

Secrets of the Pros- Defending and Changing Speeds: December 13, 2025

This clinic addresses maybe the most important skill needed in today's game: the rarely taught skill of defending. Players will learn how to neutralize opponents who are in control of the point, how to play from the corners and perimeter of the court, and how to disrupt an opponent's rhythm by changing the tempo of a rally.

Secrets of the Pros 2- Weapon Development: December 20, 2025
This clinic focuses on weapon development, with special attention paid to the biggest two weapons in the modern pro game, the inside out Forehand, and the down the line Backhand. Players will work on developing power and pace of shot. They will also learn how footwork affects these shots, how to efficiently move and address these shots, and how to incorporate these shots into their games.

Competing like the Pros – Integrating Structure: December 27, 2025

In high pressure situations, professional players combat nerves by sticking to their routines and by playing smart tactically. They begin points with specific patterns that they are comfortable with and confident in. This session will help players learn and identify which patterns work best for them and how to integrate them into their games.
