Ideally located in the southeast corner of Alabama, Troy University provides a great setting for this Alabama tennis camp.
Troy University Head Coach Eric Hayes will direct this adidas Tennis Camp. Eric is beginning his tenth season at the helm of the Troy University men’s and women’s tennis teams.
Coach Hayes has had great success since joining the Troy, having coached six all-conference participants in his first season as head coach. The men's team earned one first-team, one second-team and one all-freshman-team member. Three women received all-conference honors with one on the first-team and two on the second-team.
Before arriving at Troy, Hayes served as the Head Men's tennis coach at North Carolina State from 1996-2002. Hayes took the Wolfpack to its first NCAA Tournament in 21 years when they qualified in 1999. During the 1999 season, the Wolfpack was ranked as high as No. 21 nationally.
Prior to joining the Wolfpack, Hayes served as the Director of Professional Players at the Palmer Tennis Academy in Tampa, Fla., where he trained and traveled with athletes to ATP and WTA events around the world. While at Palmer, Hayes coached players such as Helen Kelesi, Mary Pierce, Daniel Nestor, Brian Dunn and Jared Palmer.
