Tennis for Kids Day, September 11th, 9-11am
FREE day for kids to learn and play tennis!
Over 300 kids attended the inaugural "Tennis for Kids" Day event last year, and we are hoping to surpass that number this year. The morning can best be described as a "tennis carnival." The courts are set-up with colorful props, prizes, miniature nets, obstacle courses, etc. Off-court there is music, facepainting, a raffle to win prizes, and more. Organizations donating their time for this event include the DU Men's tennis team, the METRO State Men's and Women's tennis teams, Special Olympics Colorado, Colorado Youth Tennis Foundation, Babolat, Wilson, Head, Prince, and others. We all share the common goal of introducing the game of tennis to kids by providing this fun free day and free tickets for the kids to return and enjoy the great live tennis. Please spread the word to any child you know. See Tennis for Kids Day flyer for additional information. If anyone is interested in volunteering please send an email to eric@gatestenniscenter.info.
