One of our newest Nike Camp sites is located at the University of Buffalo's bustling North Campus. Located in suburban Amherst, approximately 30 minutes from Niagara Falls, the University Tennis Center at the Ellicot Tennis Courts features a 13 plexipave hardcourt tennis complex. The dormitories for the overnight campers are right next to the courts.
Lee Nickell, returns as a Nike Camp Director as he takes the reigns as head coach at the University of Buffalo. Nickell, a former assistant coach and Nike Director (for four seasons,) with the University of Alabama, is excited to be bringing the Nike Tennis Camp tradition to the University of Buffalo.
The tennis instruction offered at the University of Buffalo camps are designed for players from 8-18 of all skill levels. Skill evaluation will be conducted on the first afternoon (or morning,) of camp. Campers will be placed in groups based on skill. Training will include stroke development and consistency drills and match play in the afternoons. The first session running June 28-July 2 is a day only program, (8:30am to 4:00pm) whereas the July 11-15 session will incorporate both an overnight and day program.
