Camp mornings are built around tennis: players work on strokes, serves, movement, and point play, then use those skills in games and match-style situations. On The Rise Tennis Academy groups players by ability, so beginners can focus on grips and stroke basics while more experienced players work on topspin, slice, court positioning, and match strategy. Licensed coaches give technical feedback throughout the session, keeping the instruction centered on how to play the game rather than simply hitting balls.
The academy’s youth programs serve ages 6–15, and the camp welcomes a wide range of playing experience. First-time players and children who already play regularly can work at an appropriate level, with coaching adjusted to their ability. Skill-development drills cover tennis rules, serving, footwork, and other parts of the game, while energizing games and level-appropriate match play give campers chances to apply what they practice.
The weekday day camp runs from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Rancho Bernardo area. Camp takes place at Del Norte High School, where players have access to an eight-court tennis facility. Families looking for a sport-focused camp can expect structured tennis instruction, repeated on-court practice, and regular opportunities to play points against campers of similar ability. Campers should bring lunch, a lawn chair, and a large water bottle, and racket rental is available for players who need one.

The camp follows a weekday training format from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Each day blends technical work with active play. Campers practice groundstrokes, serving, tennis-specific movement, and point construction, then use those skills in games and point play. Skill-development drills also cover tennis rules, serve technique, and footwork, with level-appropriate match play built into the week.
Players are grouped by ability rather than treated as one uniform group. Beginners work on proper grips and stroke fundamentals, while intermediate players can focus on adding topspin, slice, and match strategy. Licensed coaches give practical corrections on backhands, serves, and court positioning, tailoring instruction to each player’s level and helping campers apply adjustments during live points.
The program is designed around repeated on-court practice rather than classroom instruction. Energizing tennis games break up technique work, while match-style play gives campers a chance to test new skills against players of similar ability. The eight-court facility gives the program room to combine drills, games, and match play across multiple courts during the week. The overall structure keeps campers moving between focused skill practice and situations where they can use those skills in play.
Campers should bring their own lunch and a large water bottle.
Camp instruction is led by licensed, professional tennis coaches who work with players on backhands, serves, court positioning, and other core skills. Coaches adjust instruction to the player’s ability level, and campers are grouped with players of similar ability so drills and match play can stay appropriately challenging. Beginners can work on grip and stroke fundamentals, while more experienced players can receive corrections on spin, positioning, and strategy. The camp uses a 1:9 coach-to-student ratio during its tennis-focused training.
Families are asked to send campers with lunch, a lawn chair, and a large water bottle. Premium-quality racket rental is available for students who do not have a racket.
