Team Tennis Parent,
How can you pass this up or maybe you know someone who would benefit from this?
Ed Collins runs an amazing foundation here in SD and wants to help USTA Jr Team Tennis Players.
Ed is a hall of fame tennis coach from the USD Men's Tennis Program and now coaches at Peninsula and loves to give back.
He would like to help get more new tennis rackets in players' hands. Amazing rackets too from OUR LOCAL TENNIS SHOP IN SD!
See below on the steps:
"Earn" a New Tennis Racquet!
Collins Arts & Sport Foundation, in association with USTA Jr. Team Tennis, is offering your child an opportunity to "earn" a new tennis racquet.
How?
By doing some hours of community service, then writing a brief essay about the experience.
Step #1 -- Apply by emailing me (Conan Lorenzo) and include your team tennis coaches' name, describing your child's proposed community service project.
Step #2 -- Participants will be selected and notified by CASF.
Step #3 -- Complete community service (of your choice) and write an essay.
Step #4 -- Go to Racquet Stringing Workshop (in La Jolla) to select your racquet.
