THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The Cal Lutheran tennis program is hosting a summer camp for boys and girls ages five to 18 interested in improving their skills and learning from nationally and internationally accomplished coaches Mike Gennette and Jerry Yu. 

The five-day camp separates athletes based on age and skill level, guiding them through daily dynamic warm-ups, modern stroke technique training, footwork, strategy, mental coaching, competition and more. 

Head Coach Mike Gennette enters his 26th season at the helm of the men's tennis program and is in his second season as head coach of the women's team in 2018-19. During his tenure at CLU, Gennette has coached Kingsmen student-athletes to 26 NCAA All-America honors, led by the 1996 NCAA singles champion Mark Ellis and the 1997 NCAA doubles champions Ellis and Jenia "Eugene" Karimov.

Before becoming a full time coach at CLU last year, he was also the private coach to two world No. 1 ranked juniors, Claire Liu, who won Wimbledon Girls Singles in 2017 and the Wimbledon Girls Doubles in 2016, and Kayla Day who won the U.S. Open Girls Singles championship in 2016. 

Gennette's coaching accolades include being named the Player Development Coach of the Year (2016) for the United States by the US Olympic Committee and the US Tennis Association, the USPTA California Division Pro of the Year (2017), the United States Professional Tennis Association's (USPTA) co-National College Coach of the Year Award (2011), the ITA West Region College Coach of the Year, (2010), the USPTA California Division College Coach of the Year (2010), the USPTA's California Tennis Director & Manager of the Year (2007), the USTA/ITA National Community Service Award winner (2005).
