The craziness of summer camp

Summer Camp started on June 9 and the public tennis centers have not been the same since-- but in a good way. Even though it takes a lot of work and a lot of sunscreen, it is always rewarding to see the kids get started in tennis or continue from last summer. You wonder which ones will stick with it and which ones will be gone at the end of the week. We hope that they all will come back, but realistically, we know they won't. But, we will do the best we can to get them to love the game of tennis. With the use of the QuickStart program (mini-tennis), the new Latino program and 3 new camp sites this year, there is no reason that any kid in Memphis can't give it a try this summer. The instructors are fun to watch, too. They really put themselves into it and seem to enjoy it as much as the kids. There is plenty of smiling, laughter and tennis to go around.
