Growing Youth Tennis in Walla Walla

Many thanks to the USTA for putting on a Quickstart Tennis Workshop last Saturday at Whitman! I'd also like to thank all of the young coaches from Whitman and the City of Walla Walla who participated in the workshop, I think everyone had a great time and learned some valuable tools to run practices for kids. If your school or association was not involved, but would like to know about upcoming trainings and opportunities to get Quickstart equipment, please contact me at the number or email below. Here is a link to some photos from the weekend, notice that 5-7 year olds only need 36 feet for a court and you can use tape, throw down lines and tennis or caution tape for a net and SHAZAAM! you've got a tennis match!
NOW, we'll apply what we've learned to the system of tennis I use for kids through the best adult players at our Whitman Women's Tennis Winter Camp! It takes place after school Monday through Friday January 9-13th. Stay tuned for more details and check the City of Walla Walla website for sign ups which should be active soon!
