According to parent testimonials, families describe the camps and clinics as really well run, mention that Jesse is great with teens and encourages them, and report that children have experienced good tennis practice, different games related and unrelated to tennis, various physical activities, healthy snacks, and a friendly atmosphere where campers make friends. One grandparent reports that a 12-year-old grandson attended a week-long half-day camp, wanted to stay longer on the first day, came home tired, and showed noticeable improvement in tennis and confidence as a player, while enjoying the experience and making new friends. Another parent notes that coaches gave personalized attention, individual feedback, and guidance, which they felt helped their child improve technique and develop a genuine love for the game.
