Four Seasons Resort Maui to Host Fantasy Tennis Camp in November
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea has announced it will host the first annual Topnotch Fantasy Tennis Camp Wailea, featuring four current Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) pros, from November 15-19 at Maui’s Wailea Tennis Club.
This new Maui tennis camp program will feature a number of current pros, including Steve Johnson (World #25), multiple ATP Tour title winner, Bronze medal winner (2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro) and U.S. Davis Cup team member; Shelby Rogers (World #48), quarterfinalist at the 2016 French Open and U.S. Fed Cup team member; Reilly Opelka, Junior Wimbledon winner (2015) and one of tennis’ top world prospects; and Alison Riske (World #39), a WTA Tour title winner and a member of the U.S. Fed Cup team. Rogers and Riske represented the U.S. in their Fed Cup win over Germany this past February in Hawaii.
Hall of Famer and "Grand Slam" winner, Tracy Austin, also will be on center court to participate in this four-day camp program. Added to the line-up are two world-class coaches, Marc Lucero, who works with Rogers full-time on tour, and Stephen Amritraj, son of legendary player Vijay Amritraj and a USTA National level coach.
Designed for avid adult tennis players ranging in skill from recreational to tournament level, the camp will include four days of professional lessons, on-court clinics, chalk-talks, Q&A sessions, and play with other campers and the pros.
Four Seasons Resort Maui will serve as “home base,” providing guest participants in ocean-view accommodations. Participants will also enjoy a Camp Cocktail Reception and a Farewell Dinner at the resort with the pros, and will be treated to a private exhibition between the tour-level players at the Wailea Tennis Club’s intimate, close-to-the-action stadium. Besides improved strokes and fun memories, participants will also return home with a special gift commemorating their time in Wailea.
The cost of the Topnotch Fantasy Tennis Camp package is $4,995 per person for double occupancy and $5,995 for single occupancy. Registration is limited to maintain small court ratios and to ensure participants enjoy ample time with pros. Click here to reserve your package.
