Program Description:
This program is designed to introduce young children to the basics of tennis in a fun and engaging way. Participants will learn the fundamental skills of tennis, such as how to hold a racquet, how to hit a ball and how to move around the court. Participants will also be introduced to the equipment utilized in tennis such as racquets, balls, and nets. Fun warm-up games and exercises will get the participants moving and excited about the sport. This is a supportive and encouraging environment for young athletes to feel comfortable and confident in trying new things.

In high school, she was the NVL Singles Champion for multiple years and was named to the Bristol Press All Press team. She went on to play D2 Women’s Tennis at Stonehill College and then D1 Women’s Tennis at the University of Hartford. She loves the game and can’t wait to meet everyone!
