Join Wilson Tennis Camps and University of Southern California’s Associate Tennis Coach Marc Lucero for an incredible week of tennis! We are excited to continue this Wilson Classic Tennis Camp in Irvine, CA!
Following a successful first summer at Irvine, Coach Marc Lucero is back at University High School this July. We welcome players of all skills and abilities, offering full day and half day camp options to fit every young tennis player. Coach Marc Lucero plans to bring his expert coaching to the Irvine community for another great summer on the courts! Hope to see you there!
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.

- 5.5-6 hours of tennis each day

MEET YOUR COACHES
Camp Director:
Marc Lucero
Associate Head Men’s Tennis Coach
University of Southern California
Lucero had served as a coach on the professional circuit since 2013. During that span, he worked with five different players: Amanda Anisimova (2023-204), USC legend Steve Johnson (2019-2023), former No. 48th-ranked player Shelby Rogers (2014-19), Genie Bouchard (2013) and Alison Riske (2014). Recently, Lucero joined the coaching circle of Anisimova as he helped her return to the professional landscape after she took a sabbatical for most of 2023. During that span, Lucero helped her return to the scene as she made the 4th round of the Australian Open in just her second event back.
During Lucero’s time with USC legend Steve Johnson, he helped him win the Bendigo Challenger and the Indian Wells 125k Challenger in 2020. Johnson also reached the 3rd round of Wimbledon in 2022 under Lucero’s coaching.
Before working in the professional landscape, Lucero was a United States Tennis Association Player Development coach from 2010 to 2012. During that period, he traveled around the country and developed the next wave of women’s tennis talent in the United States. Lucero worked with players such as Emma Higuchi and Nicole Gibbs. Higuchi won two National Championships in 2012 and ranked No. 1 in the USA. Gibbs won two NCAA National Championships and ranked within the WTA Top 200 during her collegiate career.
Lucero started his coaching career as an assistant tennis coach for the women’s tennis program at Princeton University from the fall of 2004 through June 2007. There, he helped recruit the No. 3 and No. 2 ranked recruiting class in the nation.
Lucero graduated from Boston College with a degree in Economics in 2002. He captained the men’s varsity team at BC and led the Eagles in career wins.
CAMP REVIEWS
My son had a great experience working with coach Marc Lucero and practicing a lot with players who challenged him to improve his skills. We also appreciated the location at our local high school - would definitely attend another summer camp at University HS in the future! Thank you!
