From the moment we enrolled our…read moretwo sons, we've been blown away by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care from everyone there. The communication is excellent, the building is spotless and beautifully designed, and our sons truly love going every single day. Their teachers are incredible (shoutout to Mr. Levi, Ms. Jess and Ms. Bethany) so patient, nurturing, and clearly passionate about what they do. We couldn't be happier with our experience and feel so lucky to have found such an amazing school community.

I am a happy repeat customer of Sportsmen's for summer camp for my kids. The team there, headed by…read morean amazing and humble Ms. Nadine Houston, runs a tight ship and I am always amazed and impressed at how they set high expectations of the kids (behaviorally) and have the kids actually listen. The summer camp schedule is pretty suitably structured for kids, comprised roughly of 65% tennis, 25% other sport activities (ball games, swimming daily, rock climbing field trip, MFA field trip) and 10% reading and board game time (these are just my estimates, check with the instructors to get exact info of course). There is time set aside for AM and PM snack as well as lunch. There is a water fountain for kids to fill up on water, as it gets hot. Sportsmen's is being considered to be the host of tennis games for the Boston 2024 Olympics, and the executive director Ms. Toni Wiley delivered a great interview on local TV recently about their involvement in the community, and partnerships with schools etc.; a lot of which I was not aware of. Their down-to-earth but realistic and professional attitude made me feel proud of them which is what prompted me to write this review. The organization added a new health and wellness wing in collaboration with BWH in July 2015 and they will start having exercise classes there in the fall. I think this is an important addition to the neighborhood and a valuable example to follow. (Took one little star away as it could use a more air conditioning, although to be fair they do have a large indoor space to cool off so it could be hard)

I ordered chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but they intentionally gave me plain vanilla ice cream, and then cackled with glee that they'd tricked me.

Finally, one employee relented and gave me the ice cream I ordered, but the other employee kept snatching it away and eating it herself. 0/5 stars for the ice cream parlor.
