2025 Florida Tennis Summer Camp
Learn from some of the nation’s premier coaches and experience tennis in a fun and healthy environment that is exciting for all levels! Whether you are just getting started in tennis, a rising tournament player, or even an elite level tournament player, we have the right program for you! All camps are held at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex at the University of Florida. The facility features 12 outdoor and 3 indoor courts. In 2025, we will have four sessions – two weeks of traditional camp and two weeks of tournament camp.
Traditional Camp
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. All players will get a heavy dose of swing technique and fundamentals, while more advanced players focus on strategy, point building, percentage tennis, etc.Traditional Camp On-Court Focus
- Collegiate style drilling
- Focused individual instruction
- Advanced Strategy Classroom Sessions
- Groupings: Campers are grouped by similar age, ability, and experience
- Comprehensive instructional program with daily teaching progressions
- Small instructional groups to ensure individual attention
- Safety prioritized on and off court
Tournament Camp
The Tournament Camp is designed for campers to play more singles and doubles matches daily. It will provide the campers an opportunity to develop their tactical skills through their daily doubles and singles play. The competitive matches will not be sanctioned and are an opportunity to play against similar level opponents under the watchful eyes of our staff. The primary purpose of our tournament camp is to help players develop proper habits and decision making in a match play simulation. Throughout the camp, there will be times where campers are provided chalk talk sessions and video references from professional athletes to help improve their on-court strategy. It is strongly recommended that campers have tournament or high school tennis experience, but it is NOT REQUIRED.Tournament Camp On-Court Focus
- Instruction on how to develop proper habits and decision-making during match play
- Help establish proper routines in between points
- Individual instruction and feedback
- Comprehensive instructional video analysis of professional athletes
- Safety prioritized on and off court
