CAMP OVERVIEW
These camps provide high-intensity training and exposure opportunities for junior players aspiring to play college tennis. Chris Drake, the Head Coach of Bulldogs Men’s Tennis, will oversee all aspects of the camp, both on and off the court. With a focus on individual attention and cultivating relationships with each camper, Chris Drake’s elite camps are deliberately limited in size. We engage the players in in-depth discussions about the unique dynamics of participating in an individual sport within a team environment. This emphasis aims to foster growth not only as a player but also as an individual. The camps will include two college-style practices that concentrate on physicality, focus, footwork, skill development, and doubles. Additionally, there will be two match play sessions during which players receive on-court coaching, replicating the collegiate setting.Coaches will guide players in real-time processing of tactical, mental, and emotional aspects on both ends of the court, offering insights and suggesting necessary adjustments. The Thursday before camp begins, Coach Drake will also be hosting a Zoom webinar and Q&A session for all players and parents, comprehensively delving into college tennis and the recruiting process.
