Serve2Serve, with help from USTA Eastern, organized a Tennis Workshop at Sheridan Hill Elementary School, Clarence, NY, targeting children enrolled in the After School Program run by the YMCA. Groups of 20 children at a time were ‘introduced’ to Tennis, with coordination games and simple tennis play, or ‘mini-tennis’. The Workshop was a success, and resulted in the YMCA adding a Tennis unit to their After School programs in all the Clarence District’s Elementary schools.
In 2015 the YMCA was given a grant to continue this program at Elementary schools.
