2025 MAYO DOUBLES CAMP

Camp Philosophy: This camp is a great opportunity for any CURRENT or FUTURE(Going into 5th-12th Grade) Mayo Tennis Player(Boys or Girls) to improve their Doubles skills.

Camp Information: The camp will touch on all phases of the game of tennis, but a special emphasis will be given to the development of Doubles strategy and positioning. This camp is for most levels, including top varsity players to  intermediate players. This is not open to beginners or advanced beginners due to the fact that rallies need to take place in order to focus on doubles positioning.  Just want to emphasize that there will be drills that will help the very top varsity players as well as the B-Squad.   To reserve your spot, you must retain your sign-up sheet with your payment. All the current Mayo Boys and Girls players are above the advanced beginner level and are able to participate. 

Dates and Times: The tennis camp will run for 7 weeks and will start June 9th. The camp will meet Monday through Thursday. Fridays are make-up days in case of rain.(*see below). 3:45-5:45pm at the Mayo High School Courts.

The coaching staff is the same as last year: Jeff Demaray, Nick Uphoff, David Rider

The Captains are:Noah Wisniewski, David Teng, Max Rivera, and Caleb Kennel 

We will be officially starting on March 24th. Here are the practice times weather permitting:

*Monday March 24 ONLY-All new players and B-Squad players from last year. If you practiced with Coach Rider last year, you were BSquad-3:45-5:30pm

All players that practiced with the first group(Coach Demaray and Uphoff)including Varsity, JV, and a few extras. 5:15-7:00pm

Tuesday March 25- Friday March 28 -All players that practiced with the first group last year. 3:45-5:45pm, New players and B-Squad from last year 5:30-7:00pm

***We will in all likelihood be moving up players after the first practice. If you feel like you are one of those players, be prepared to practice twice the first day. 

We will be going inside if the weather doesn't cooperate. Times will probably be in the evening where we can get more courts. Let's hope for nice weather. 

**** CHANGE*******We will have a PAC Meeting on March 20 at 7:00pm at the Mayo Cafeteria..

*There will be NO practice over Spring break. Please take your racket with you when you go on vacation. Thanks. 

*The schedule is up at Big9.org. Mayo Boys Tennis. 

The first week will be a time to play challenge matches. This is the first step to where people play. The most important element is how you do against the top teams. At Mayo, we play the best players regardless of age. Players can move up and down throughout season based on ability. Everyone will have an opportunity to show the coaches what they can do. 

I am really looking forward to a fun year and my hope is that all players will not only improve as tennis players, but as people as well. 

Take care and see you soon, Coach Demaray
