– Non Boarder option includes all sessions of tennis, lunch, dinner, free time and evening activities. Pick up is at 8:30pm every night at the courts EXCEPT Tuesday night with will be at the main circle on Notre Dame Ave. We do a non-tennis session on Tuesday night, so that’s why there should be a different pick up point that night.

– Boarder option is an inclusive camp experience running from Sunday – Thursday with the campers staying in the dorm, eating at the dining hall and enjoying all tennis, as well as social and recreational activities daily.

• Beginners: The beginning level player will be introduced to the basics of the game. Emphasis will be placed on stroke production and the technical aspects of the swing to teach these young players sound fundamentals from the ground up.
• Intermediate: Intermediate level players will also focus on fundamental stroke production (to ensure proper technique), but will also be input into gameplay situations to introduce these players to the competitive side of the game.
• Advanced: The more advanced players will work with stroke production in a competitive environment, but will also be introduced to the basic strategies of the game.
• High School / Tournament: Varsity high school and tournament players will focus on the strategic and competitive aspects of the game. Although there will be attention spent on the stroke fundamentals, more emphasis will be placed on point progression, court positioning, patterns and sequences, percentage plays and live ball drill work.

The National camps are designed for experienced young players looking for a more serious and rigorous camp experience. These specialty and limited camp offerings are open to any and all players, however, we recommend these camps for players with experience (perhaps even tournament experience). The camps will place more emphasis on the strategical, mental and physical side of the game, and less emphasis on stroke production and technique. Each location hosting an Elite camp varies in curriculum and areas of emphasis, but all camps provide 5.5 – 6 hours of training each day in a fun and competitive environment.

Areas of focus:

• Point Building and Match Play progressions
• Singles and Doubles Strategies
• Hi-Intensity on court training
• Off court conditioning, speed and agility training

Boarding option:

• – Sunday 2pm – Thursday 4pm

Non-Boarding option:

• – Sunday 2:00pm – 8:30pm
• – Mon – Wed 8:45am – 8:30pm
• – Thursday 8:45am-4:00pm

• Boarding option provides all meals from dinner on Sunday through breakfast on Thursday. (No lunch on Thursday).
• Non Boarding option includes Dinner on Sunday and Lunch and Dinner on Mon-Wed. (no meals Thursday)

In the case of inclement weather, Notre Dame has 6 indoor courts and we will have full use to these courts. As the camp runs better outdoors, we will shift our daily schedule in anticipation of rain to ensure we maximize our court time outdoors. Camp will proceed rain or shine each day.

Q: Are there Skill Requirements for this camp?

Q: What type of campers attend this camp?

Our camps are open to any and 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 campers to one coach. Some camps / sessions offer higher or lower ratios based on curriculum.

Q. If the camp is the full, do you have a waiting list?

We do have a waiting list for our camp weeks that sell out. In is not unusual for us to add campers from the waiting list due to late cancellations. To be added to the wait list, please email the office.

Camp Dorm – TBA

If you are attending the camp as an overnight camper, you can request a roommate at the time of enrollment. Should you need to change this request, please email the office at Here. We can usually meet your request of 1 roommate, however, please keep in mind that many parents have conflicting requests. (Player A request Player B and Player B request Player C). We will do our very best to sort out these issues ahead of camp, however, if there is a mistake or change that needs to be made at camp check-in, please let us know and we will do everything in our power to make that change.

Each dorm has a different setup. Some are doubles, triples, quads, and suites. If you would like to have players in rooms next to each other, we again will do our best to accommodate. Please please email the office at Here Here for such requests.

Should you wish to room with more than just 1 person, we will do everything in our power to arrange for this, if the room level (double, triple, etc…) allows.
