The ROSS VALLEY CLUB SUMMER TENNIS CAMPS are under the direction of Jim Bedilion, USPTA.  Jim has been the Head Pro at Ross Valley for the past twenty-nine years.  During this time, he has been involved in the USTA Junior Player Development Programs.  He has served as a National Team and Junior Excellence Coach.  He has been Wilson’s Pro of the Year, has chaired the USTA Junior Council, and was Head Pro of the USTA Area Training Centers for ten years.  He has also served as Coach for the USTA 16’s Intersectional Team.  Today, he is a member of the Wilson High Performance coaching staff.

          The camps run in two-week sessions and are held Monday through Thursday.  Each class will total eight days (16 hours) of supervised tennis.  The tennis camp staff continues to be one of the best that you will find anywhere.  It includes Rob Jessen, Jim’s year-round associate.  Rob also has an extensive tennis involvement.  He has coached USTA Junior National Teams, participated in local school programs and served as a USTA Area Training Center Coach.
