Jeff Wallace directs three sessions, for girls only, and Manny Diaz directs another four, for boys only. Wallace has compiled a phenomenal record in his 26 years as head coach of the University of Georgia women's tennis team, directs this girls-only camp for 9-to-18-year-olds. His camp provides instruction for all levels of player. The sessions focus on developing correct grips, strokes, positioning, and footwork and then proceed to shot selection, consistency drills, and singles and doubles tactics along with strategy drills for tournament play.
Under head coach Manuel Diaz, the University of Georgia men's tennis team won the NCAA Championships in 2007 and again in 2008, becoming the first to win back-to-back titles since Stanford in 1988-89. Diaz has a long history with the school, having lettered there ini 1972-75 and then returning as assistant and then associate coach under Dan Macgill before taking over the reigns himself. During the summer, he runs the two boys-only sessions. He accepts all levels of players, focusing on the skiils essential to their ability and employing the same techniques he uses to create championship teams.
All the sessions utilize the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, a facility with 12 outdoor and 4 indoor courts and a clubhouse. Campers stay in air-conditioned dorms a few minutes away from the courts and adjacent to the dining facilities.
