For the fourth year, Babson offers evening tennis instruction at the Boys and Girls Evening Tennis Clinic.. Boys and girls 8-15 are invited to participate. This camp is for all ability levels, but may be a great way to try tennis and build your fundamentals for a few hours without the commitment of our day camp.
During each session, campers are offered a balance of match play and drills in a relaxed setting with low camper-to-coach ratio. Campers of all abilities will work on their tennis skills in the cool of the evening, playing on Babson's beautiful, eight court facilty.
