Boston University's Olympic Hopeful Barbara Rodriguez Will Serve as Lead Tennis Coach for LINX/LX Sports Camps in Wellesley for Summer 2014

WELLESLEY, MA – April 21 – LINX and LX Camps of Wellesley, MA is honored to announce that Boston University’s Division 1 Women’s Varsity Tennis Champ Barbara Rodriguez will be their lead tennis coach for summer 2014.  LINX is well known for recruiting both professional and highly skilled athletes to coach LINX and LX Sports Camps, with Boston Celtic Center Kelly Olynyk serving as one of the head basketball coaches this summer.

Rodriguez, who currently plays for the Boston University Varsity Women’s Tennis Team, will bring an unmatched level of expertise to LX Sports Camps.  Her success includes being ranked #1 in Venezuela for 4 consecutive years.  She has also won several South American championships and has represented Venezuela in a number of tennis events.  When asked about working with LINX and LX Tennis Campers this summer, Rodriguez was enthusiastic.  “I am very excited to coach tennis at LINX and am especially looking forward to teaching my knowledge and experiences of tennis to campers.  I will help campers in their game."  Barbara likes to focus on developing each camper’s best stroke, which she calls “weapon shot.”  Rodriguez aims to help tennis campers hit their favorite shot each time by teaching them how to set up the point well, making their “weapon shot” effective and powerful.  With over 7 years of coaching kids, Rodriguez has learned what children like to do and has modified it with the drills that are important for their strokes and strategy, making practices helpful and fun.  LINX and LX Sports camps offer weeklong full day (9am-4pm) camps for children in grades 2nd – 10th throughout the summer at LINX’s Dana Hall Campus in Wellesley, MA. 

Serving Wellesley and surrounding communities, LINX is now in its seventh year of operation with over thirty premier camps. The main office is located at 141 Linden Street in Wellesley, MA.
