ABOUT OUR CAMP

Ages: 6 - 18 years old for all of our Day Camps.
Ages:  11-18 years old for all of our Overnight Camps.

Something for all ability levels.

FOR THE BEGINNER . . .

This camp is designed for students who wish to learn and improve their tennis skills in a fun, activity-based environment.  We would like for our beginner student to get off to a good start with their tennis and finish the week with a strong base of understanding the game.  The beginner will receive instruction with an emphasis on technique, court movement and the fundamentals of the game.

FOR THE INTERMEDIATE. . .

Our intermediate campers will be exposed to a progressive training environment.  Each student will receive instruction in stroke development, agility/footwork and point play strategy.  We will build confidence in our intermediate student through goal-setting and starting to define their game style.  Other areas of emphasis will include shot selection, doubles tactics and mental strength.   

FOR THE ADVANCED...
The advance students will experience a process-oriented training environment.  Each process will be very similar to the areas of emphasis that we use with our varsity teams here at UNC Wilmington.  Mental strength, court movement, technique, shot selection and Fun!...will all be areas of emphasis for the advanced student.  Tactical instruction will include singles strategy as well as doubles strategy training. 

FOR THE ELITE. . .

The elite camper will experience the tactical and strategic side of competitive tennis.  Players will develop their skills with live ball drills, dead ball drills, and competitive match play.  In addition, there will be a fitness component where players will be exposed to conditioning drills that improve footwork, movement and flexibility.  This portion of camp will run similar to a college program.  A regional, state, or sectional ranking is preferred for campers to be in the elite group.  This is designed for players aspiring to play college tennis and beyond. 

No camper will be allowed to participate without a

completed application and consent form. Your

personal insurance will be used as the primary

coverage.

Our camp insurance will be a secondary coverage. It

will cover injuries incurred in supervised camp activities

that are not covered by your primary insurance. Each

to attending camps.

The camps will be held at the UNCW Varsity Tennis Complex on our 9 newly resurfaced US Open style Courts. The campus address is 601 South College Road, Wilmington, NC 28403.  Overnight campers will stay in the UNCW dorms with Coaching/Instructor supervision for all activities. 

Activities both on and off the court are supervised by

staff members for the entire stay at camp. No one is

allowed to leave campus during camp.

Each camper will receive an official Seahawk Tennis
