Grassroots Junior Tennis

The Grassroots program continues to be designed around the school year with two four-month sessions of 'after school' classes. These classes were offered three times per week for 90-minute lessons. Each session included approximately 30 youth, consisting of new and returning participants. One day per week we invited that participants’ parents to ‘get involved’ with the activities. Grassroots continues to inspire “kids of all ages” to get in the game of fun, exercise and healthy activities with our tennis program. Kay Butler, Executive Director, visited several Coachella Valley schools, talking with Principals, Coaches and PE Instructors, to share our program goals as well as providing 'sign up'/application forms. Our ambition is to fuel the participants’ interests and opportunities to get involved. We have the strong belief that the benefits gained by participation in the Grassroots' program include teamwork, sportsmanship, socializing/social interaction, increased self-confidence/self-esteem and overall fitness.
