But they are solid motivated players who have a shot at Div II scholarships ... with the right development.<br/><br/>My experience with the many <u>Nike Camps</u> is they lack consistency. Too much depends on which coaches were working those days."<br/><br/>Some of the colleges' Camps are, IMO, not worth the time or money. Some of the "name" college Camps are also intermittent. If the "A" staff is working, great! If not, the Camp is just about like everyone else's.<br/><br/>TennisResortsOnline says the best values are found at Port Royal and Newk's. I know enough about Newk's place to confidently recommend it, but I don't know much (beyond Tennis Resorts Online) about Port Royal. What can YOU tell me? Which Camps have your endorsements?<br/><br/>Thanks!</div>

If you are a parent of a Junior Player with the hopes of them getting a college scholorship, what is the path that would lead your child to the best schools? How do you know if you are providing the necessary diet for your child athlete? What are some of the situations a parent might encounter during a child's Junior Tennis career? How do you, as a parent, know that you are giving your child the best possible chance to succeed in their sport? What were some experiences current professional players had as Junior Players?<br />
<br />
These are just a few of the important topics that the Junior Tennis Show focuses on...<br />
<br />
JTS is an online resource for junior players and their families that provides a wealth of information vital to the advancement of their game. Hear interviews from current Pros/Coaches, College Players/Coaches, Sports Nutritionists, Mental Toughness Experts, Equipment Reps, and Current/Former Junior Players/Parents. Check it out for a few weeks and let me know how you liked it. I have also started a group for the Junior Tennis Show...<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Derek.
