Totally unsolicited, but if you’re taking your kid for a good meal, I’ve got to recommend Gibbet Hill or Forge and Vine. Both are excellent.
Maybe I am asking too many questions piece meal (sorry!): does anyone know about Groton tennis? The team seems to be very strong and they have 8 indoor tennis. But the indoor courts get converted to an hockey ice rink in winter - the time that these indoor courts would actually serve a purpose otherwise you can always play outside. No decision hinges on this - but curious if this is the case?
That’s correct. No one is playing tennis in the winter. It’s not a tennis academy. Most tennis players play squash in the winter.
New England weather is nothing to brag about when the spring term / season starts in late March and April. The indoor courts get plenty of use then, and also during rainy days throughout the rest of the season.
Groton’s boys tennis team has been a perennial powerhouse in New England. The boys train outside of school at local clubs in the winter but also play other sports. John Conner has been the coach for 40 years, and you could not ask for a better mentor for your child. Tennis has been Groton’s strongest program for both girls and boys over the past decade.
