Collegiate Exposure Camps
Whittier Narrows Tennis Center, El Monte (Los Angeles), California
Overview:​ The goal of the camp is to continue your development as a player while immersing you in and exposing you to a competitive college tennis environment. While technique will be evaluated and addressed, the aim of the camp is to focus on how to play and how best to prepare for college tennis.
