Sep 23, 2024

Coach Ed Krass’ 36th Annual College Tennis Exposure Camp is set for December 7-8, 2024 at the Beerman Family Tennis Complex in Lakeland, Florida. Directed by former Harvard, Clemson and WTT Tennis Coach Ed Krass, players will receive instruction and training from head college coaches representing NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA programs.

The coaching staff for the clinic will include head tennis coaches from Appalachian State University, Boston College, Colgate University, University of Delaware, Embry-Riddle University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Florida Southern College, Gardner-Webb University, Mercer University, Methodist University (NC), Rollins College, Savannah College of Art & Design, Southeastern University, University of Tampa, Temple University, U.S. Military Academy/ARMY, Warner University and University of West Florida.

Open to ages 14-18, instructional drills and matchplay competition will be conducted in the same style and intensity as a college team practice. Players will have the opportunity to sample various coaching styles and to receive on-court coaching during their matchplay competitions. Under the skillful eyes of top college coaches, players showcase their singles, doubles and one-on-one doubles skills and receive specific feedback on their game.

"Our camp is a great training, networking and recruiting platform for today’s junior players interested in playing college tennis," said Coach Ed Krass, the Camp’s Director. “With a Head College Coach interacting with players on each court, the camp has served as a successful springboard for thousands of college-bound student athletes.”

The camp includes 10 hours of on-court, collegiate style drills and matchplay competition. The schedule on Saturday, December 7, features head college coaches conducting live-ball, competitive drills in an instructional format. The following day, players will receive on-court coaching during competitive matchplay. Lunches will be provided for students. After the lunch break, roundtable discussions with the head college coaches will offer motivation and education about college tennis preparation and the recruiting process.
