Here's what others have had to say about Green Valley Resort & Spa and Court Think Tennis Camps.
"Tennis camp x2 days was great. Covered everything I expected. Video was Enlightening. There was not a good option for lunch and we had to drive into town. The 2nd day we brought our lunch"—A.M., Beg., May 2012
""—S.B., Low Int., May 2012
"Dave and his team do a great job of combining video analysis and individual coaching to improve my strokes. This was our second trip to St. George and we're already looking forward to our next camp"—I.M., Adv. Int., May 2012
"This was exactly what I wanted. They do a great job of analyzing your game and give you specific instructions on exactly how to improve. Their video analysis is great. My instructor was encouraging and yet critical. I highly recommend this camp to anyone who desires a detailed analysis of his/her game."—J.C., Int., April 2012
"I attended the 3 day camp the first week of April. This is the place to go if you technical help with your strokes. Dave and Mark have a system that breaks everything down into small segments and then use this to improve your mechanics. They are very patient and search for the learning method that is best for you. Even though you are in small group(3 to 4 during my stay)you feel you are getting an individual lesson for 5 hours each day. But what really puts this over the top is the video analysis. They film you, show it to you and show you where to make corrections. They will even make you a copy with written and oral instructions and practice tips that you can view at home. I wish I could have come here 5 years ago."—R.N., Low Int., April 2012
"We were there when it was Vic Braden, just before the change. Tennis instruction was excellent and there were very nice on property condos and reasonably priced. Sometimes it got real windy in the afternoon; but, we went and played inside out of the wind. Nice swimming pools. Several good restaurants in St. George."—H.A., Adv. Int., April 2012
"Top quality instruction with thorough analysis of strokes, how to modify same to play better tennis, and how to incorporate into improved court (doubles) strategy."—B.K., Adv. Int., March 2012
"I've been to many tennis camps and instruction sessions, but Dave at CourtThink was far and away the best at taking each stroke and breaking it down, showing me precisely what I needed to change, and giving me good models to emulate. The video technology was great at helping me visualize what I needed to tweak. This is the first camp that I came away from with a clear vision of how each stroke should look, and what I needed to work on to get there. A great experience."—P.D., Adv. Int., February 2012
"The CourtThink program at Green Valley Spa in St. George, Utah was great. We had personalized instruction that moved at the right pace. The video analysis was great and we came away with a clear understanding of what we needed to do to get better."—M.C., Adv. Int., January 2012
"I had never attended a tennis camp, and found that since I was not a quick "learner" and could not grasp the top spin, I was made to feel inadequate, and overlooked compared to the other younger, newer player in class (there were only 2 of us) who was catching on better and showing progress. At one point during a session the pro said that he just did not understand why I didn't "get it"...I had looked forward to this weekend hoping to improve with encouragment, not beratement. I am not sure if I ever want to try a camp again due to this experience."—T.W., Adv. Int., November 2011
"Watching the video of my shots helped me to see what I was doing. The instructors had great attitudes and were very patient with us. I was a little disappointed that I could not figure out how to correct my strokes. I was able to see what I wasn't doing right but putting it into practice was something else. I would have wanted even more instruction as to how to make the changes but overall it was a good tennis camp."—K.G., Int., November 2011
"Dave & Co not only take you back to basics in all the strokes, but with their video analysis and clips of pros, they convince you of the importance of the technique they are teaching. The Dartfish video analysis is fascinating and useful.
The individual instructors were all excellent in their specifics, and they would look for new ways to help you see and do what they were suggesting. One day Mark said, "Lead with the top edge [of your racket]" and my mind went, "click!" SOOOO helpful! Cured my forehand blues!
Also, they were very flexible--my 20-year- old daughter and I stayed, unexpectedly, for two extra days, and Dave brought on an extra pro to accommodate us. We basically got a private lesson for 6 hours! The pros worked on whatever we wanted to focus on (since we'd been through the regular program).
This was my fourth trip!
Proximity to Green Valley Spa is a plus for those who can afford it--if not, the condos are the way to go!"—W.M., Adv. Int., August 2011
