Circle Cup 2009

The day offered a unique opportunity for the Atlanta YMCA campers and the Washington Park neighborhood kids to learn to play tennis with professionals from USTA Georgia and YMCA Georgia. Most of the children were introduced to the game of tennis for the first time! Kids ages 5-13 came out to play.

Quickstart tennis was introduced to the kids, as well as games and fitness instruction. There was music as well so of course the kids were all too happy to dance!

Celebrities showed up to participate including candidates for mayor, past tennis pros, Freddie the Falcon, and the Falcon cheerleaders. It was a great celebration of the history of Washington Park Tennis Center as well as the wonderful things being done for children through the YMCA Tennis Georgia program

You can be sure next year’s celebration will be even better and lil’ ol’ me will be right there signing up to help!
