On Jun 7, 2023, Pearland Branch began to conduct the first 2 hours group Tennis lesson in the Dawson High School tennis court. The purpose of the program was to promote tennis as a recreational activity, provide basic tennis skills to community members, and encourage active and healthy lifestyles.
With the help of many volunteer coaches, volunteers/coaches have been able to work together and offer 3 levels group tennis lessons for more than 19 amazing children around the ages of 5 – 14. In preparation of each lesson, the volunteers discuss and intuitively create tennis drills and tips in order to efficiently guide and help the students.
Moreover, the volunteers also include a variety of fitness exercises, games, and physical training to increase the students’ endurance and stamina. This session was concluded with stretches to prevent injuries and cramps.
All the kids were able to let their energy out for 2 hours and both the coaches and the kids had a fun time during training. At the end of the day, we raised $385 in total for our fundraising project.
