Testimonials about Tennis Clinics with Mats Wilander and Cameron Lickle
Best tennis clinic ever! Hard work and a lot of great tennis insights and coaching from both Mats and Cameron. Thanks!
Mats & Cameron were awesome. We had an amazing tennis experience which involved challenging tennis drills and excellent strategy tips from a seven time Major Champion! The energy and enthusiasm on the courts was powerful. Mats & Cameron are passionate about the game of tennis and really enjoy mixing it up on the courts with their students. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
It is my third year doing this clinic. It is always the highlight of my tennis year.
This WOW experience is like none other. From the friendly greetings to the variety of drills and personal instruction, our group enjoyed every second of the high energy, fast-paced session. The passion Mats and Cameron bring to the sport is contagious and by the end, we all felt like we’d not only see greatness in action but we’d learned how to improve our own game!
What an incredible time. You guys are fun, energetic and totally kicked my butt!!! Would do it again in a heartbeat. Remember, keep your feet moving!
