MISSION STATEMENT
Our goal is to give young people the opportunity to learn and play the athletic game of tennis. Our objective is to start young students on the right foot with proper instruction on strokes, footwork and scoring. This outdoor activity will promote a fun atmosphere, team camaraderie, and a better understanding of team sportsmanship. The result of this will enhance the middle school and high school programs in our communities.
