Bement offers two co-ed opportunities for tennis players in both the development tennis and competitive tennis teams. Whether a player is a budding Roger Federer or picking up a racket for the first time, there is something for every athlete. In the fall term, development tennis is open to all skill levels. Here, players have the chance to learn the fundamentals of the sport in a fun, encouraging environment.
Alex Bartlett has been running around on Bement fields since he started as a student in third grade. Mr. Bartlett played soccer on the Deerfield Academy varsity team as well as a club league in Nairobi, Kenya. As the Athletic Director, Health teacher, 9th grade advisor, and avid athlete, Mr. Bartlett is in his 43rd consecutive season of coaching. "I love trying to figure out how to reach every athlete as their coach and work to instill passion and confidence. Coaching is truly an art and I never want to stop in my pursuit to be better." Along with soccer, Mr. Bartlett coaches girls' varsity basketball, recreational tennis, and golf.
