Nike Tennis Camps Wraps Up Another Excellent Year, Summer 2019

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As a staple division of the company, Nike Tennis Camps looked to build on its long-standing overnight tennis camps that have been running for more than 10 years including: Amherst College, Lawrenceville School, USD, Duke, Stanford and Lake Tahoe at Granlibakken Resort. Other strong locations such as MIT, Minnesota and Michigan State all saw significant spikes in camper popularity.

While the growth of top tier, long standing locations was a large focus, Nike Tennis Camps also looked to grow their day tennis camp market. The additions of Fayetteville High School, Middlesex School, Quail Ridge Country Club, Jack Kramer Club and Agawam Hunt Club were solid additions that look to have strong growth in 2020. Quail Ridge/Middlesex led the charge by bringing in over 375 campers that left players and parents looking forward to next year, "Great team, the coaches are professional, they support and nature my kid's passions. My boy's skills got sharpened and of course, he had a lot fun. We will be back next year" says a parent of a Quail Ridge camper.

Nike Tennis Camps also introduced three new programs to their summer junior tennis programs this year: U10 (10 and Under Tennis), Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) and USTA Tournament Challenge (offered at Amherst College).

U10 locations were able to create groupings for under aged campers to use lower compression balls (red, orange and green dot) so they are easier to hit, allowing kids to get to the ball and develop optimal swing patterns. Nike Tennis Camps and UTR have developed a special partnership where campers that are enrolled for camps at a specific camp location get to create or develop their UTR score. UTR has become increasingly popular for tennis players to improve their skills and evaluate their matches.

The USTA Tournament Challenge at Amherst College was a one-of-a-kind program where campers were able to enroll for a 2-week camp. The first week was dedicated to mental and skill development to prepare for the tournament weekend. Players then got to experience competing in an official USTA tournament over the weekend. The second week is devoted to further fine-tuning skills based on what was charted during the USTA matches. When asked about her daughter's experience, a parent nothing but positive comments, "My daughter had another wonderful week at camp. She loves the on-court time with coaches who care about her and want to help her improve."

Coming off a very successful year, Nike Tennis Camps looks to continue the momentum of 2019 by providing quality, fun tennis camps for campers to return to year after year and provide new locations for junior and adult tennis players to improve their game. They will look to add more adult locations, offer more junior tennis camps in the winter and spring, and continue to build the day camp business.
