How We Group
Collegiate Tennis
Players
Players are grouped at the beginning of each session based on age, experience, and self-reported skill indicators, including UTR ratings when provided during registration.
As camp sessions progress, coaches frequently adjust groupings to ensure players are training with peers who best match their ability level and developmental needs. This flexible approach allows for appropriate challenge and growth throughout the week.
Individual and small-group feedback is provided daily, with training plans designed to progress players step by step through technical, tactical, and competitive elements.
What to Expect During a Collegiate Tennis Camp Session
A typical collegiate tennis camp day follows a structured but engaging schedule designed to balance instruction, competition, and recovery.
Players participate in morning tennis sessions focused on technical instruction, drills, and small-group feedback. These sessions often include instructional feeding, pattern-based drills, and skill development exercises.
Afternoon sessions emphasize competitive play, including match play, point construction drills, and situational games. Mental toughness exercises, team-building activities, and fun competitive games are incorporated throughout the day.
Players receive daily evaluations, structured feedback, and opportunities to challenge themselves in a supportive, collegiate-style environment.
