“It was such a pleasure hosting Ed Krass’ College Tennis Academy (CTA) here at Wesleyan for the first time. As he always does, Coach Krass assembled an extraordinary group of head college coaches and the weekend was filled with the CTA’s infectious blend of great tennis, so much camaraderie, a little bit of rock and roll, and a whole lot of fun. The participants learned a ton and came away from the weekend with tools to grow every aspect of their tennis – and with a new network of college coaches and friends from around the world.”
– Wesleyan University Head Coach, Mike Fried, ITA National Coach of the Year 2017 & 2019
“Having the college coaches on court, living the college tennis experience was priceless for me.”
– Mars Argun, High School Rising Senior Class of 2024
“I totally believe in Ed’s College Tennis Exposure Camp and have recommended dozens and dozens of players to attend. Not only have I recommended players to attend, both my children attended the camp and made great contacts that landed them with a college team. One of the key features that I like is that only head college coaches work the camp. I like to refer to the camp as one stop shopping similar to a job fair where kids can meet at least 15 college coaches in 2 days. It’s definitely worth the investment and will save you time and money in the long run if you want your kid to play college tennis. Finally, the camp is well organized with great enthusiasm from Ed and his staff. I highly recommend this camp!”
– Andy Gladstone, former USTA Florida Player Development Coordinator for 19 years
“As someone who did not have a high ranking, College Tennis Exposure Camp gave me a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate my skillset and character to a wide variety of college coaches. Without Coach Krass’ camp, someone like me would never have been on Lehigh University’s radar. Additionally, the high pressure drills and classroom lessons set me up for success once I entered college.”
– Jeremy Kochman, Former #1 Player at Lehigh University, 2013 Patriot League Champion and a 2016 Lehigh graduate
