Volunteers
needed for Tennis Futures Clinics
|
More than
1,000 children in grades 4-6 will be taking part
in the Tennis Futures clinics being organized at
Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club (WLTC), Kildonan Tennis
Club (KTC) and Tuxedo Tennis Club (TTC), May 14-18.
Bill Serbin, a physical education teacher at John
de Graff School and coordinator of the Tennis Futures,
has seen the program grow over the past decade,
to the point where three clubs are now needed to
host the 21 schools that will participate next week.
The growth has been fantastic for the sport of tennis,
but it has created some challenges, not the least
of which is the need for volunteer instructors.
A minimum of 10 instructors are needed each day
and with the large number of participants 20 instructors
would be ideal. On May 14-16 the clinics will take
place solely at the WLTC. On May 17 the clinics
will be held at WLTC, KTC and TTC. On May 18 the
clinics will take place at KTC and TTC. The clinics
run from 10:00am-2:00pm on each day. It is important
to note that previous teaching experience is not
necessary. The most important quality is a passion
to see children be active and learn the basics of
tennis in a fun environment.
If you are able to volunteer your time to assist
the children at the Tennis Futures clinics please
contact Kris Robins at
kris.robins@tennismanitoba.com . Please note
that all volunteer instructors will also receive
lunch each day courtesy of Arby’s.
