Drop in Continues and School Tennis Starts Up

Drop in tennis has been so much fun and before I left for a week in Alabama we did some wrist band testing and will look to do some again in about a week. I'm also very happy to announce that we have another coach available for Monday and Wednesday which has been the academy group, I'd like to encourage players who are just getting to full court and using the regular yellow tennis ball to come those days and we'll run one court of intermediate/younger advanced players. Contact me if you have questions.

Times are still 3:30-4:15 and cost is $5 at the door.
Mon/Wed = Int/Academy
Tues/Thurs = Beg/Adv Beg



SCHOOL TENNIS IS BACK!!!!
After a successful pilot run last year at Sharpstein (all 70 2nd graders had tennis lessons at school with Whitman Students as coaches!), we are fully into the swing of things at Edison Elementary and have added coaches from the Whitman men's team (Thanks Coach Jeff for having such a great group of caring and talented guys).

School tennis occurs with quickstart equipment for under 10 year olds at their school during PE time. It also provides a way for our Whitman players to use their tennis backgrounds in community service and exposes young elementary school students to tennis early so that they develop skills and learn about this great game. If you would like Whitman to come to your school, have your PE teacher or school representative contact me.

See you on the courts (or in your school gym) soon,

Coach John
