SPORTS PROGRAMS 2008
........................

The SBS Sports Camps provide an opportunity for young athletes to improve their fundamental skills and to enjoy developing new friendships. Experienced coaches are hired not only for their teaching ability but also for their enthusiasm about working closely with young people.

The SBS Sports Camps utilize The Stony Brook School's fine athletic facilities, including 6 tennis courts, 4 soccer fields, a baseball field, a softball field, a heated indoor pool, a gymnasium with a wooden floor (please no black-soled shoes), a newly-remodeled field house, an outdoor basketball court, and a 400 meter all-weather track. Each camper will receive a camp T-shirt and either a cap, ball, or shorts, depending on the sport.

We offer discounts to teams that sign up for any of the sports camps as a group. Call the camp office for details!
