UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas, NV
Day camp w/ half day option
One of the biggest events to hit the desert each summer, our tennis camp at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is back again for another summer of fun in 2025. UNLV offers three weeks of tennis camp with full and half-day options under the guidance of Las Vegas Head Men’s Tennis Coach Andy Jackson.
Each summer, the camp is held on the beautiful Vegas campus located in the heart of Las Vegas. Throughout the week, campers receive personal attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work, and game/match play daily.
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 get a heavy dose of swing technique and fundamentals, while more advanced players focus on strategy, point building, percentage tennis, etc.
The Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps are the premier camps for young players who strive to learn the game, improve their skills and participate in middle school, high school, USTA team tennis, or tournaments.
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
Location Notes:
- Recreational swimming daily for Full Day campers. Please bring a towel and swimsuit. The swimming pool is indoors. A lifeguard will be present.

CAMP REVIEWS
My daughter had fun, made friends, and despite the hard work was excited to go back each day. She’s new to tennis and this made her more confident without overwhelming her.
I wasn’t on the court so I didn’t see all aspects of the camp in action, but from my observations – the camp is well run, coaches are friendly and encouraging, and the kids had a good time. I would sign my child up for camp again in the future.
Great camp, very organized, my camper loves the coaches, assistants, and other kids at the camp.
Our kids had a great experience. The staff from the top down was professional, helpful, and the kids had a ton of fun!
My son first attend one week of the Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps in 2022. He enjoyed the coaching, the coaches, and the other players so much that he requested to do 3 weeks in 2023. Every day he comes home proud of what he has done and happy for the the way he is treated and what he is learning. He’s already asking if he can attend again next year.
