Paul E. Raverta Tennis Complex
In recognition of his leadership and love of the game, the tennis facilities at BCC were dedicated in honor of the college's 6th President, Dr. Paul Raverta. The complex boasts three standard adult courts and two "10 and Under" courts for children. 

The complex, which is open to the public, was made possible by the Berkshire Bank Foundation, Berkshire Bank Foundation - Legacy Region, Petricca Industries, USTA - Western Mass, USTA - New England, and USTA - National.

Academic tennis classes will begin in the fall of 2012.

The courts are available on a "first come, first serve" basis EXCEPT during the gray shaded times below: 

For more information on the courts, please call 413-236-1661.

Check out photos from the Dedication Event held on June 18, 2012.
