MIAMI UNIVERSITY – Oxford, OH
The Wilson Collegiate Tennis camp at Miami University in beautiful Oxford, Ohio, is one of the fastest-growing tennis camps in the Midwest. This residential (with non-boarding options) camp emphasizes skill development in a fun and competitive environment, directed by Miami head women’s tennis coach Ricardo Rosas.
The Miami camp is the perfect preparation for young players looking to get more involved with playing tennis. Each camper receives personal attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work, and game/match play, all in a fun and competitive environment. Campers are broken into small instructional groups with similar age., ability and experience, so each child is working in a group that is commensurate with their experience level and tailor the instruction to the level of the players.
Beginners would get a heavier dose of swing technique and fundamentals, while more advanced players would focus on strategy, point building, percentage tennis, etc.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CAMP INCLUDE:
- Comprehensive instructional program with daily teaching progressions
- Small instructional groups to ensure individual attention
- Safety prioritized on and off court
- Camp demo program with all the latest Wilson rackets
- Great Wilson Raffle and prizes for all campers

Rosas has been the Head Coach of the Miami Women’s Tennis program since 2017. In that time, the RedHawks have advanced to three MAC Tournament Championships, while capturing two regular season titles and a tournament championship crown. Rosas is 54-53 overall and 26-15 in MAC play since taking over the helm of the tennis program. Rosas has been named MAC Coach of the Year three different times, including 2019 and 2022 as well as in 2010 when he served as Miami’s interim head coach. Rosas also recently helped coach the Mexican National Team in both the 2018 and 2019 Fed Cup.
Rosas has been a fixture around the RedHawk program, having spent 15 seasons as an assistant coach. He was named the program’s Associate Head Coach in 2013. In addition, Rosas had two tenures as Interim Head Coach, including in 2010 when he was named Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year. He also served in a similar capacity at the end of the 2006-07 campaign.
During his time as an assistant at Miami, Rosas helped guide the program to eight-straight MAC regular-season titles (2009-16), five MAC Tournament titles and six NCAA Tournament appearances (2009, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015, 2019). The RedHawks tallied a 226-151 overall record during his 15 seasons, including an impressive 107-24 MAC mark.
Rosas brings an impressive tennis background and strong experience as an international competitor. As a junior player, Rosas was one of Mexico’s finest, ranking No. 26 in singles and No. 12 in doubles in the ITF World Rankings. In 1993-94, he participated in the U.S. Open, French Open and Wimbledon as an 18-year old. Following his junior career, he went on to play four years on the ATP Tour (1994 to 1997), reaching career-best rankings of No. 574 in singles and No. 375 in doubles. His international experience also includes representing Mexico in several events, including the 1994 Davis Cup.
