The ACE Summer Tennis and Writing Program

Ages: 7-14 / M-F 9am-12pm / June 24-August 23

Tennis

Our tennis program is awesome. We play fun and creative games, but also make sure that students learn proper technique. We also teach all the tennis lingo and rules.

ACE implements the best practices of Trauma Informed Sports Coaching, which means that all competitions are delivered in healthy ways and real sense of teamwork builds among all players.

This is a great program for beginners, but it’s also excellent for kids who’ve played before and want to get better.

Writing

Our writing program is designed to be fun, first and foremost. Our students write about their environment, their opinions, each other, the action from the tennis courts, and any other fun thing that come up.

Every kid gets. a journal to use and take home, and we collect and publish writing from the summer.

We partner with 826Boston to create the lesson plans and we have wonderful instructors lead the sessions.

Community

We also create a strong sense of community. From our opening and closing circles to our team competitions to our Friday popsicle tradition, a fun sense of camaraderie emerges among our group every week.

This is a big part of our approach to holistic youth development. And we are intentional about creating an inclusive, safe environment for kids to socialize and feel at ease.
