"Van Der Meer Tennis, Sweet Briar, is well organized and offers great junior tennis intruction. The tennis pros are supportive and experienced. The junior players are challenging and bring a high level of play to the tennis camp. This is a high quality tennis camp for junior players."—N.E., Adv., July 2010
"My daughter is a high ranked eastern player, so selecting a camp which can challenge her can be difficult. VDM does a great job of attracting serious players and matching players accordingly to achieve the best results. My daughter was very happy with the camp, food, and tennis. Thank you."—T.F., Adv., July 2010
"Excellent in every respect. My daughter went for two weeks last year and couldn't wait to go for a month this year. The tennis instruction is top-notch, individualized and intense. The location is beautiful with lots of amenities. Food is good. Great coaching and they have a great time on top of everything else when they are not playing tennis."—C.C., Adv. Int., July 2010
"This camp was poorly organized. The pros were all very nice but the grouping system was horribly done. They put me in a group with kids that I was beating 6-0. I came to this camp looking for harder hitting and to be challenged and this camp did not provide this. They never listened to any of the complaints and never did anything about them. They were very strict and barely allowed you to do anything. You spent most your time either on the court or in the lounge. You barely did any physical training. The tennis drills were good but you didn't get a lot of individual attention. If you are a serious junior advanced player looking for some challenging competition, I recommend NOT to attend this camp."—M.M., Adv. Int., July 2010
"Excellent junior program, beautiful setting, college grounds are amenable to improving game."—E.E., Adv., November 2008
