Introducing Ohio's newest Wilson Tennis Camp location at the beautiful Ashland University! Directed by Ashland's new Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach, and longstanding Wilson Tennis Camps director, Marc Wurtzman, we are excited to offer this overnight camp with a commuter option to the Ashland, OH area.
Join us this summer for a week of expert tennis training, whether your child is a beginner or looking to sharpen their skills for tournament season. Each camper is given small group and individual attention and feedback, with a focus on skills according to their needs and abilities. Beginners will receive instruction on fundamentals and refining game play techniques, while more advanced players will work on strategy, point construction, and match play. We group campers and tailor our instruction to fit each player's level and ability.
