Kid's Tennis
Jefferson County has new
opportunities for kids to get out on the courts and play tennis.
High School Volunteers
needed for kid's tennis program!
High School volunteers are
needed to help with the Fall and Spring YMCA after-school tennis
programs. You can earn community service credit too! You don't have to
know how to play, just a willingness to help younger kids learn the
game. JCCTA will offer a free tennis lesson to high school volunteers
and help with training! Contact Bill Kush at the YMCA, 385-5811 for
more information.
