Youth Tennis Lessons in Centennial Park

Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Little Rock

Date: Thu, Jun 26, 2003 to Thu, Aug 7, 2003
Time: 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Location: Centennial Park
Organizer/Sponsor: Injury Free Coalition for Kids- Little Rock and Rebsamen Tennis Center

The Injury Free Coalition for Kids has partnered with the Rebsamen Tennis Center, an affiliated of the Little Rock Parks and Recreation Department, to teach tennis to the youth of the Centennial Neighborhoods. The lessons are being held at Centennial Park each Thursday morning, from 9:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.

Although the playground and park were restored two years ago, little has been done with the tennis courts until now, due to a lack of instructors. Rebsamen agreed to provide two junior tennis instructors for a 6-week period to provide the lessons. There have been 3 lessons so far, with an average attendance of 12 youth at each lesson.

The goal of the lessons is to provide a constructive environment within the neighborhood for children to participate in supervised play.
