Here's what others have had to say about Brady Tennis Camp.
"The Bradys have some good seasoned pros teaching the tennis camps. I took the weekend camp at the Home Depot Center in LA. My second tennis camp with the Bradys. I enjoyed their format and teaching methods. The video analysis is helpful in identifying problem areas and working on them. It may be useful for the Bradys to communicate some expectations and needs of the campers; for example, whether food, sport drinks, sun screen are available on site or the campers need to bring along. Overall, a fun camp for adults."—S.L., Int., May 2010

"When I was looking for a tennis camp, I wasn't sure what to expect as I'd never attended one before. Brady Tennis Camp looked good for a first time experience and I wasn't dissappointed. Getting a chance to work on all components of my game as well as meet and be challenged by other players met my objectives. The staff of pros did a great job in giving personal instruction, all with a keen eye for where my techniques could improve with easy enough instructions to make the corrections needed. As an example, just 15 minutes with the serving pro and my toss problems are becoming a thing of the past. Video taping of my groundstrokes and serve gave me feedback on what I was doing right (and wrong).
The schedule of morning clinics, afternoon pick-a-court and supervised match play worked well. I've been playing just a bit over a year, taking clinics at my club (Oakland Hills Tennis Club) and playing USTA Womens and Mixed Doubles at the 3.0 level. Having 2 days of concentrated effort around my game provided more focus and increased my confidence."—S.H., Low Int., May 2010
"I like the Brady Camp and Brady family. It seems that Kip, Kevin, Cara, and Virgil have a sincere desire to improve the skills of participants. I've been to three camps and enjoyed each one."—J.B., Int., May 2010

"Very friendly atmosphere with mature instructors. Lots of really good drills and many of the activities are just a lot of fun to do."—J.D., Int., May 2010
"I have told others that this is an excellent tennis training program for individuals of any level to improve their fundamental skills, learn tactics for playing doubles and singles, meet other players from all over California and to have a lot of fun. I've been attending two of the Bradly family tennis camps for about 5 years and they have definitely helped me improve my play. The only two problems I have come accross and must emphase only rarely was 1) not enough good players in the top group. 2) one or two inexerpierenced teachers. However, the teaching prose have allowed me to hit with them whenever I felt restless and they have always recognized when a pro lacked the skills to teach, they were replaced the next day."—D.S., Adv., May 2010
"I am a veteran Brady tennis camper. The Brady's are a great family and work really well with all levels of tennis players. I enjoy the small break out groups and the individual attention I get to improve my game. The Brady's do a wonderful job placing me in a group with players that motivate and challenge my game, as well as all of the pros. I always learn something and improve my game with every camp I attend. My favorite camps are Indian Wells and La Costa which I attend every year. Thank you Kevin, Kip, Kara et al."—D.W., Adv., May 2010
"Great time at the camp. Friendly and knowledgeable staffs. Would recommend without reservation."—T.H., Int., April 2010
"Fun week of tennis for juniors and adults. Would recommend it for anyone looking to improve their game in a relaxed setting."—R.E., Int., April 2010
"The Brady Tennis is an excellent camp to attend solo, with a spouse, with friends or as a family. It is the best tennis camp I have ever attended and everyone should take at least one Brady Camp a year. The format and the instructors are phenomenal and it is a lot of fun too. I highly recommend this tennis camp."—N.C., Adv. Int., April 2010
"Brady camp offers both weekend and week long stays, which makes it convenient for thos who work during the week or those that just want to work on their tennis all week long. I've only attended the weekend sessions and it's jam-packed with activity. I like the group size and how everyone in the group is around the same level. I also like rotating through the different drills they have, which allow me to work on different aspects of my game - groundstrokes, serves, volleys, etc.
The camp also mixes in strategy lessons, which is important for match play. They provide lots of opportunity for practice matches, and have a mini tournament at tne end of camp. There is one aspect of camp which I think is a bit of a disadvantage for the more advanced players. They have an option where you can go to any pro's court and get more instruction on whatever the pro is teaching at that court.
It seems like the beginners benefit more from this and receive more instruction and attention, which doesn't seem to benefit me if I wanted to be part of the mix. So most likely I end up going to the least crowded court, which is not necessarily the court I want to be on. But other than that, the camp is great, the locations are great (I've been to almost all of the southern CA locations), the games are fun, the pros are fantastic, and you get a good workout plus tips you can take back home with you and practice on your own."—C.D., Adv., April 2010

Offered only on selected dates, these adult camps take place at various locations from fall through spring and then move to the scenic campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara during the summer. Housing at UCSB is available in the newly renovated Tropicana Gardens residential suites, which consist of two or three bedrooms and a bath in a building with a recreation room and a swimming pool. They are within walking distance of the 26 hard courts, the gymnasium, and the fitness center. The camp runs 6 hours/day. The camp is run by the four members of the Brady family, all of whom played college tennis—and in the case of Kip held a national professional ranking.
