SPTA to host USTA Jr. Team Tennis informational meeting on February 24th

The Sun Prairie Tennis Association will be hosting a USTA Jr. Team Tennis informational meeting on Tuesday, February 24th at 1PM. Local league coordinator, Betsy Wolfe and District League Coordinator, Christy Etten, will be discussing how this program can be brought to your community. The meeting will be held at Westside Community Service Building, Rm. 146, 2598 W. Main Street in Sun Prairie. Please RSVP to Betsy Wolfe at betsywolfe@gmail.com.

USTA Jr. Team Tennis is the largest junior recreational tennis league in the U.S. and brings kids together in teams to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles against other teams. It promotes social skills and important values by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self-growth. Also, it’s a fun environment for kids in which they learn that succeeding is really more about how they play the game – win or lose.
