INTEREST IN SUMMER TENNIS DRILLS & SKILLS?
Last summer,TAA offeredkid's tennis drill & games sessions during the month of June.Times were coordinated with swim team practice times so your child could go from swim team to the courts. These sessions were taught by Takura's assistant, Conor.
TAA is considering offering a similar program this summer if there is enough interest.At least 6 players for each session would be required to hold the session.Sessions would be grouped by age, not ability.
Please let us know if you would like your child to participate in this type of program this summer by sending an e-mail to kmoussouri@gmail.com by March 22. Look for results on the level of interest in the April newsletter.
