SANDPOINT — Youth Match Play Tennis hits Sandpoint next week for any and all interested players between the ages of 8-12 years-old.

The five-day program will be held at Travers Park Courts from June 19-23, with beginners playing from 9:30-10:30 a.m. each day, followed by the intermediate players from 10:30 a.m. to noon. There will be a tournament on Friday for all levels, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
