tennisbuddys contributions and service to the community
- Growing tennis, growing fitness
tennisbuddys mission statement is “Growing tennis, growing fitness” and was founded with this pursuit in mind. How can we grow a fun sport like tennis in our neighborhood and how can we grow fitness for our young and adult and senior generations. In this high tech age, it is very very essential that we not neglect our outdoor activities that is so crucial for our mental and physical well being. With time being such a constraint in our lives, tennisbuddys was determined to bring a fitness program right into your neighborhood and has done so. The numbers have grown from 2 students a week to about 70 students a week, in only just over 1 year since this program was started. This shows that it is very true as the saying goes “If you build it they will come” so we built tennisbuddys right in our neighborhood courts and have brought, fun and fitness right to your doorstep, for any generation, all ages, all skill levels. - Free Tennis Clinics
