Looking for a sport you can play at most any age? If so, tennis is for you! Thanks to the United States Tennis Association (USTA) of Florida offering grants for tennis equipment to schools in Madison County, along with training for instructors to teach tennis to students in PE, kids will now have an opportunity to learn and enjoy this sport throughout their lives.
Playing tennis is a great way people of all ages can stay in shape, and the best part about the sport is, you only need two people to play.

Anyone interested in growing this sport in Madison County should come to our organizational meeting Wednesday, October 17, 5:30 p.m. at the NFCC Gym. Everyone is welcome, no matter your skill level. Even if you have never played before, but have always wanted to learn, we want you to come. We are a group that likes to have fun and wants to encourage healthy alternatives for recreation for both kids and adults in Madison County!
Questions about tennis or the group? Contact Ina Thompson (973-2328) or Lisa Flournoy (973-8875).
I think this is a great thing for Madison! As somewhat of a tennis player (my husband and son far surpass me), I believe it in its athletic merits as well as social. It is a lifelong sport that anyone can play. We look forward to see how this progresses in Madison -- with high hopes!
