Full Day Camp with Half Day Option
 

Join the Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camp at the University of Southern California for an incredible week of tennis! The USC camp has quickly become one of California’s most popular junior tennis camps. Brand new in 2020, we are excited to announce USC Head Men’s Tennis Coach, Brett Masi, as our camp director. Coach Masi has run several Wilson Tennis Camps through the years and is one of our most experienced camp directors.

Each camper receives personal attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work and game / match play, all in a fun and competitive environment. We break the campers into small instructional groups of similar age and ability so each child is working in a group that is commensurate with their experience level. We tailor each program to the level of the players. Beginners will get a heavier dose of swing technique and fundamentals, while more advanced players will focus on strategy, point building and percentage tennis etc.

Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps are the premier camps for young players who strive to learn the game, improve their skills and/or participate in middle school, high school, USTA team tennis or tournaments.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CAMP INCLUDE:

 

  • 5.5-6 hours of tennis each day
  • Small instructional groups to ensure individual attention
  • Camp demo program with all the latest Wilson rackets
  • Great Wilson Raffle and prizes for all campers
  • Camp T-Shirt for all campers

        Per NCAA rules, our sports camps are open to all entrants. Enrollment is limited only by age, grade level, gender, and capacity restrictions as specified by each camp.

        Q: What type of campers attend this camp?

        Our camps are open to all levels of tennis players. We have players from absolute beginner to high school / Tournament level.

        We design our camps to teach the technical basics and love of the game to the beginning player, to introduce strategical decision making, and more advanced technique to the intermediate player, while building on their current stroke production, and to put the advanced players into pressured, strategical and competitive situations.

        Q. What is the ratio of campers to staff?

        Groups will be divided into small instructional groups of approximately 5-6: 1 camper to coach. Some camps/sessions offer higher or lower ratios based on the curriculum.

        We recommend all families purchase camp/cancellation insurance if they are concerned about the investment they are making in the camp.

                                    Brett Masi

                                    Head Men’s Tennis Coach

                                    University of Southern California

                                    Brett Masi is in his fifth season as the head coach at USC, having compiled a 80-22 record in the past four seasons at Troy.

                                    In the 2023 season, Masi led the Trojans to their fourth-consecutive Pac-12 championship, finishing off the season as the No. 10 ranked squad in the country with an overall record of 21-8. The Trojans continued their streak of making the NCAA tournament as a team, as well as in the singles and doubles tournaments. The Trojans once again secured Pac-12 Doubles Team of the Year, while three players made the Pac-12 First Team.

                                    A former assistant to USC’s 2009 NCAA Championship team, Masi returned to Troy as the Trojans’ head coach on May 12, 2019. Prior to his return to USC, Masi guided the Texas Tech and San Diego men’s tennis teams to eight NCAA Tournament appearances as head coach at those schools. He also was named conference Coach of the Year during both stints. In 14 seasons as a head coach, he has carried his teams to 11 NCAA appearances, including USC’s NCAA Round of 16 run in 2021. He also spent time working at the Peter Smith Tennis Academy (2004-09), Martin Luther King High in Riverside, Calif. (2001-02), Cal Poly (2000-01) and IMG Academy-Los Angeles (2000).

                                    Masi was a four-year (1997-2000) letterwinner at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he remains one of the program’s all-time winningest players. He concluded his career with a 60-29 singles record and played among the top three spots of the lineup throughout his career. He climbed as high as No. 38 in the ITA singles rankings in 2000 and notched All-Big West first team honors as a senior.

                                    Alison Swain

                                    Head Women’s Tennis Coach

                                    University of Southern California

                                    Alison Swain, who built a women’s tennis dynasty at Williams College by leading the Ephs to 8 NCAA Division III team championships, is now in her seventh season as the head coach of the Women of Troy. Through her six seasons at USC, she holds a 91-57 overall record (.615) with a 33-23 record (.589) in Pac-12 matches.

                                    During the 2023 season, the Trojans recorded an overall record of 20-10, going 9-5 in conference play. The Trojans wrapped up the season as the No. 24 ranked team in the country, with two ranked singles players and three ranked doubles pairings. USC was named an ITA All-Academic Team in 2023 with five players earning the title of ITA Scholar-Athlete. Additionally, four Trojans were named to the Pac-12’s Spring Academic Honor Roll.

                                    Prior to arriving at Troy, Swain posted an .889 winning percentage (224-28) in her 10 seasons (2008-17) at Williams, including 48-2 in NCAA tournament play. She led the Ephs to 8 NCAA team championships, including in each of her first 6 seasons (an NCAA Division III record and tying Stanford for most consecutive at any level) as well as in 2015 (going 25-0) and the just-concluded 2017 campaign. She was named the 2013 ITA National Division III Coach of the Year, was a 5-time conference Coach of the Year and twice (2010-13) was the ITA Northeast Coach of the Year. She produced 2 NCAA champion doubles teams (Juli Raventos and Linda Shin in 2015 and 2016) and a trio of NCAA singles runners-up, along with 18 All-Americans, 2 ITA National Senior Players of the Year and an ITA National Most Improved Senior of the Year.

                                    Swain was the second person in any division to win an NCAA tennis team championship as a player and a coach. She co-captained Williams’ 2001 NCAA championship squad (the first in school history). She won All-New England Small College Athletic Conference honors and was named a Scholar-Athlete All-American.

                                    Marks Tennis Stadium

                                    The USC men’s and women’s tennis teams have called the David X. Marks Tennis Stadium home since its construction in 1971. This season, Trojan tennis sees its home revamped and renovated, bringing the venue up to date and in line with the impressive accomplishments of both programs. USC broke ground on the new Buntmann Family Tennis Center on Feb. 24, 2015, starting an impressive renovation project with the goal of elevating Marks Tennis Stadium to be on par with the best facilities in the country by creating an inviting, elegant, bright and safe training and competition environment.

                                    The Buntmann Family Tennis Center entrance and lobby now welcomes fans and visitors and puts on display the rich history of USC tennis. To improve the building functionality and support the tennis program operations, the new Lisa and Douglas Goldman Family StudentAthlete Learning Studio supports direct collaboration between coaches, staff and athletes on a daily basis.

                                    The teams are now able to utilize and enjoy brand-new suites with lockers, showers, team meeting rooms and lounges. Both teams also have access to a new training room, a stringing storage area and a large multi-purpose room. To better accommodate and enhance the spectator experience, new spectator shade canopies has been added, a new elevator to the seating area has been installed.
