Minneapolis, MN Area Tennis Camp at UM

University of Minnesota

Minneapolis, MN 55455


Overview

Baseline Tennis Center, located on the beautiful University of Minnesota campus, features 22 (10 indoor, 12 outdoor) signature maroon and gold-colored tennis courts. Made of a plexi-type of pavement, the courts provide more cushion than typical hard courts. We’re excited to host the adidas Tennis Camps at University of Minnesota. Join us and have fun while improving your tennis skills!

Camp is open to all ages and ability levels. Each camper will be assessed and grouped with campers of similar age and ability levels. Adjustments to the groups may be made throughout the week to provide campers with opportunities to train with and compete against different players. Drills, games, and scrimmages are designed to help each camper learn, improve, and have fun!
