LI Region Teaches at Local Street Fairs; Offers T-Shirts to Long Island Tennis Magazine Readers
Members of the USTA Eastern Long Island Region offered tennis lessons to hundreds of youngsters at the Merrick Street Fair and Bellmore Family Festival, as part of the Region’s initiative to grow the game, especially among children. USTA volunteers, including local tennis pros and high school varsity players, came out to work with children ages 10 and under. Special thanks to Syosset High School, Calhoun High School, Grand Avenue Middle School, Carefree Racquet Club and Long Beach Tennis Center for making their pros and players available to help.
