Youth match play tennis week offered soon

SANDPOINT — Any and all kids between the ages of 8-12 years-old are encouraged to take part in the Youth Match Play Week, held at the Travers Park Courts on June 20-24.

This fun program provides an ideal opportunity for budding young tennis players to put their skills into match play and boost their enthusiasm for the game. The week long league will focus on match play and take players through the fundamentals of playing in match formats.

Skills taught will include the basics of scoring, singles, and doubles matches. Participants will be split by skill level and age and have four days of lessons with a Friday tournament to close the week.

Beginners will play from 9:30-10:30 a.m. each day, and intermediates will play from 10:30 a.m.-noon. The tournament on Friday, June 24, will play from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will include both classes.
