Foootball Clinics:


The NEFB Clinics have been a successful youth football organization in Boston for over 14 years now under the leadership of Head Coach and owner, John Papas. Coach Papas is also BB&N's Head Football Coach for the last eight years with an amazing record of football victories under his belt with a following of dedicated families with first hand knowledge of his strong leadership and undeniable skills both on and off the field. We are very excited to be working with Coach Papas in this new capacity and to add his established football program to our Summer Sports Academy lineup for 2011.


Mission:


Our goal at BB&N is to provide a valuable and enjoyable learning environment for boys and girls from grades Pre-K thru Grade 12 during the summer months. Campers must be 4 years old by June 1 of the camp year. All children are welcome regardless of the school they attend. All grades referenced refer to the grade the camper will be entering after camp/summer is complete. We give all campers a careful balance of recreational and creative activities in small groups. All of our camps are both comfortable and friendly, and we believe in a program that encourages new friendships to develop and established ones to grow. Whether you spend one week with us or several, we are hopeful that you will look back on a well-rounded experience full of fond memories that will last a lifetime.
