Kelly Deveau"Kids in Court" attracts 18 Die-Hards

Lac du Bonnet held its first ever tennis lessons geared for kids ages 7 -12. Kelly Deveau and crew taught these sessions in May & June of 2005 . Young kids hit hundreds of balls using a series of activity stations. The group's skill level improved so quickly that "live ball" play was introduced far earlier than expected. Whether using a practice hit or tennis trainer device, the kids enjoyed the broken racquet throwing station the best!

The community and parents were extremely supportive of this initiative. Tantalum Mining Corporation donated substantial funds. This enabled us to purchase brand new racquets for each kid at the awards ceremony. Not to be outdone, the local Co-op station gave free slushies to all players and coaches. Thanks to Claude Deveau and Brent Pemberton for their enthusiasm and patience.

Contact Kelly Deveau at 345-6751 for more details. Future plans include free tennis sessions for teens and a half-day week long tennis camp for next summer.
