Our History

Since launching in 2016, our camps have grown almost entirely through word-of-mouth. We’re grateful to the many players who have traveled from across the U.S. and Canada to train with us. Today, each camp is intentionally limited to 48 players to provide more personalized instruction and better court access. We host one camp in May and another one in September at the Montreat Conference Center in North Carolina.

What Sets Us Apart

We are grateful for the strong reputation our camps have earned from past participants. With experienced pros and a welcoming atmosphere, players consistently tell us they improve their skills while enjoying the week both on and off the court.
