Course Description
Radley College offers advanced players a fun but challenging training programme simulating an elite tennis environment. Developing players at Bradfield College improve their game with demonstration, practice and feedback. Players are assessed and grouped by ability on the first day so coaches can customise the training programme to maximise individual skills progression. Advanced players are challenged technically, tactically and physically. Developing players learn to master grip, spin, shot selection and movement. The experienced coaching team includes former tournament professionals who use challenges and short-set matches alongside fitness and conditioning drills to create a fun, competitive and progression-driven camp. Workshops on fitness, nutrition and hydration, physiology and psychology and match tactics and match preparation support on-court training.

Accommodations
Accommodation is in boarding houses around the main school buildings. At Radley, most bedrooms are single occupancy with shared bathrooms. Please note we cannot guarantee any particular bedroom. We allocate bedrooms based on sport, age, gender and room share requests.
Meals
3 meals a day and an evening snack, including vegetarian options. Most dietary requirements can be catered for with prior notice.
Pocket Money
We often get asked how much spending money players should bring. As everything is included in the camp, players can get by without spending money but there is the opportunity to buy additional snacks on-camp (cash only), and to buy souvenirs and extra food on trips. Players tend to bring £50 - £200 or a UK-activated credit/debit card (depending on their age). All cash will be kept in the camp bank, with the exception of small amounts for snacks on-site. This is just a guide, there is no requirement to bring spending money.

Transportation
We have a dedicated team of staff located at selected airports on arrival and departure days. If you book an arrival airport transfer your child will be met by a member of our staff as they walk through to the arrivals hall. Our friendly staff will be holding a Nike Camps sign in a prominent position at the front of the arrivals area and your child will be escorted from this point all the way from the airport to the camp venue. Depending on your child's flight time, there may be a short wait at the airport for other players to arrive during which time full supervision is given.
On the departure day our staff will help your child to the check-in at the airport. We can also make arrangements to transfer your child to the airline’s unaccompanied minor service if you check the unaccompanied minor box when booking the transfer.

ENGLISH (Tennis+English Option)
13-14 hours a week of classroom-based English. Our professional and dedicated English language teachers use a customised curriculum based on the CLIL approach used in top schools worldwide. With an average of 12 students per class, students get excellent individual feedback, including a written report and completion certificate to take home. Throughout the camp, English lessons are supported by a fully immersive language experience. All activities, training and workshops are delivered in English.
Results
Players are equipped with the skills and insight to continue their development as a tennis player long after the camp has finished. Their English skills progress through a combination of their English lessons and their exposure to English speaking throughout the camp experience. Each player receives a coaching review, as well as feedback from their English teacher and a certificate to take home. As well as their new found skills, players leave with new friendships from around the world, confidence and memories that last a lifetime.
