SUMMER TENNIS
WE LOVE TENNIS IN THE SUMMER!
At the Binghamton Tennis Center, tennis runs all summer long with both junior and adult summer camp opportunities.
JUNIOR CAMPS
The Binghamton Tennis Center offers a fun-filled and instructive summer tennis camp experience. Camps are offered by level and age so that players are challenged at their own stage of play, all while making new friends along the way. Beginner players will be exposed to the fundamentals of tennis. Experienced players will focus on point-play, strategy, fitness and other components needed for continued success in competitive match play. Tennis camps will be held outside on our brand new nine-court facility. Our indoor, six-court facility will be used in the event of inclement weather.

TENNIS 101 FOR ADULTS
Are you looking to try a new sport? Are you looking to pick up a racquet again after a couple years away?
Tennis has always been one of the healthiest activities you can try. A study published by Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that those who played tennis increased their lifespan by 9.7 years—a larger increase than any other sport. Just as importantly, the game can boost mood and strengthen mental health, according to researchers at the State University of Southern Connecticut. Their study found that tennis players display more optimism and on average become less angry, anxious or depressed than those who play other sports. And learning tennis will pay dividends throughout your life. Once you grasp the fundamentals, you can play it at any age—even into your 90s.
