TENNIS LESSONS
The Tennis Camps at Harvard and MIT began on June 8 and will run through the summer season, offering group instruction for tennis players of all ages. The camp has been a successful program at Harvard for the past eight years, and this year an instructional program is being offered at MIT for members of the Institute community.
Junior programs for children from ages 5-16 are being offered at all levels for either full-day or half-day sessions. Adult instruction is available at a variety of times, including mini-camps in the evenings and on weekends.
The camps are directed by MIT men's tennis coach Jeff Hamilton and Harvard coaches Dave Fish and Gordon Graham. Mr. Hamilton, who has been coach at MIT since 1987, is a two-time Constitution Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.
Mr. Fish, who has taken the Harvard program to national prominence, has been head coach of the Harvard men's team since 1976. Mr. Graham is the Harvard women's coach and has 20 years of NCAA Division I coaching experience. The teaching staff includes many top-level college coaches and varsity players.
The Tennis Camps at Harvard and MIT are open to all members of the MIT and Harvard communities. Those affiliated with MIT are eligible for discounted fees. For more information, call (617) 783-2400.
