Kids’ Clinic in MAC at Bryant University (Sunday, April 15th)

The Kids’ clinic hosted by the Bryant University Club Tennis Team was a success. The clinic brought in 15 young children all eager to learn about tennis. The team taught a variety of basic tennis skills like how to do a forehand/backhand through several games that we even do in our own practices. The clinic was a fun time for not just the kids, but their team members as well. The team was so excited to be able to continue this clinic next year and hope for a great time just as this year!
