If you're an experienced high school or college coach, I'd like your opinions. If you have some promising kids, what camps do you recommend for Christmas break or summer?
(I hope this doesn't seem too rude, but if you are not a coach your opinion doesn't really carry much clout with me.)
These kids are not up to the Bradenton or Randall's Island calibre. But they are solid motivated players who have a shot at Div II scholarships ... with the right development.
My experience with the many Nike Camps is they lack consistency. Too much depends on which coaches were working those days."
Some of the colleges' Camps are, IMO, not worth the time or money. Some of the "name" college Camps are also intermittent. If the "A" staff is working, great! If not, the Camp is just about like everyone else's.
TennisResortsOnline says the best values are found at Port Royal and Newk's. I know enough about Newk's place to confidently recommend it, but I don't know much (beyond Tennis Resorts Online) about Port Royal. What can YOU tell me? Which Camps have your endorsements?
Thanks!
