Lux Group Ventures has partnered with Cole Shoults to create a five-night tennis camp combining high-quality coaching, optional match play, fitness, exploration, and time to connect with a welcoming group of players.
Cole is a former NCAA Division I player at the University of Toledo who now trains internationally and competes in professional Futures tournaments. A self-described tennis nut, he has studied different academies, coaches, and training systems around the world in search of useful drills, strategies, technical details, and performance methods.
Throughout the camp, Cole will share those insights through focused tennis sessions designed to help players improve their technique, movement, decision-making, and understanding of the game.
The camp will take place at a beautiful tropical hotel with on-site tennis courts, fitness facilities, gardens, and comfortable spaces to relax. Mornings will feature coached tennis with Cole and Coach Troy, while afternoons will include optional match play, fitness, free time, and unforgettable Costa Rican experiences.
Every detail is arranged from start to finish, allowing you to arrive, play, improve, explore, and enjoy the experience.
