"I want to know the secret...My players have a blast at Rod Ray's camp. In all my years of coaching young people who attend summer tennis camp, I have never heard one bad thing said about Rod Ray's camp." Robb Thompson, Head Pro and Junior Development Coach, Greenville Country Club
"Having spent 30 years as a teacher and high school principal, I had the opportunity to observe many coaches. In all the years I spent in education, I never witnessed the "God- Given" motivational skills you have as a coach. We were extremely thrilled that Jay was able to spend time with you and the other coaches. You were able to get students to go the extra mile and love doing it, and to achieve things they never knew they could."

"Rod Ray’s camp is an experience of a lifetime. It is such a personal camp where everyone knows everyone and has one-on- one time with the coaches. I feel like I improved my game through the many fun activities we do daily. I can’t wait
to go back this year!"
Kelsey, Camper
"My son has been to your tennis camp for two years. My wife and I have rarely experienced anything as satisfying for our children as your camp. He had a great time again this year. It is obvious to me that his skill level improved during his camp session. More importantly, however, he came back feeling better about himself and his tennis abilities. While he may never win Wimbledon, being the recipient of the 'Best Spirit' award medallion means a great deal to him. Thanks for being such a positive influence in his development."
Richard, Parent
My girls loved the tennis camp. When I picked them up, my youngest told me she wasn’t leaving until I signed her up for next year. I had heard that you run a top-notch tennis camp and now I now that it is true. I am telling others about your impressive camp and the awesome staff.

Thank you very much for a great tennis camp for my sons. They both enjoyed it very much. They were really ready for some good technical help and made great strides from beginning to end.

I just talked to my daughter and she was so sad she had to leave. She went to a different camp last year and said that this year at Wofford was her favorite.

Rod, Just wanted to let you know that my son thoroughly enjoyed camp last week. He met lots of new friends who all vowed to come back the same week next year. His confidence was definitely built up even during this short period of time.
K.E. – Mother
My daughters had a great experience this year and last year. You can count on them coming back next year: they wouldn’t miss it for the world.
M.M – Mother
My son said that you had the best tennis program he has ever attended. Over the last few years, he has been to five different tennis camps and he likes yours the best. He especially enjoyed your coaches.
Thanks for an amazing week. All of my children had a wonderful time. They all agreed that Coach Rod is never down…this speaks volumes.
LW, Mother
Thanks for a great camp. I know you hear this all the time, but this is such a great camp for my daughter. The personal attention is greatly appreciated.
