Our 4-day tennis camp is a great way to boost your confidence and skill level quickly. With top tier coaching, individualized attention, and strategic planning, our camp is literally designed to bring you the best coaching we can offer! But, coaching can only go so far. How you show up to camp, and to the court each day will have a huge impact on your progression over the weekend. Read on to find out how to get the most out of your Topnotch Fantasy Tennis Camp vacation!
What To Do:
- Play tennis ahead of camp
- While this may seem obvious, it’s really the best warm up for Fantasy Camp! Get out to your local club, and play!
- You’ll be on court for 5 hours a day during camp, make sure you’re in a position to recover and play through the afternoon.
- Incorporate strength training, cardio and stretching into your workout routine
- Adding 1-3 sessions per week of strength training can help prepare your body for long days on court
- Drink lots of water
- Don’t let yourself get dehydrated on the plane ride, or out in the sun during camp.
- Wear well fitting tennis shoes, and break them in ahead of time. Is there anything worse than blisters?
- Have the right equipment.
- String your racquets, bring some grips.
- Know yourself, listen to your body.
- If you’re feeling very tired, dizzy, or fatigued while at camp - allow yourself to take a break and recover. We’re going to be out in the sun and on the courts for long durations.
- Some past campers have even taken entire sessions of tennis off - and that’s okay! This is a vacation first and foremost. Allow yourself time to relax and feel great.
- Choose something to work on during camp, and write down your goals!
- Pick a few components of your tennis game to really focus on. Our coaches will help you improve in any way.
- Research a few activities that you want to visit while “on island”.
- A great place to start is with this Conde Nast Travel Guide (link to it please): https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/best-things-to-do-in-maui

- Our tour hosts, and the hotel staff can help point you in the right direction.
- Conde Nast has some great suggestions as well! https://www.cntraveler.com/search?q=maui§ion=eat-and-drink
What NOT To Do:
- Ignore any pain in your body.
- Take a break, stretch it out, and allow yourself to recover.
- Imbibe too much each night!
- Please do relax and enjoy, but don’t go too far if you want to be in tip-top shape for tennis in the morning.
- Skip breakfast/ your usual snacks.
- Your body needs fuel to make it through long sessions of coaching.
- Forget to drink water.
