Summer tennis program kicks off

Talk about it

River Falls Parks and Recreation, in conjunction with Dennis 4 Tennis (Dennis Ferche) is again hosting its Summer Thursday Evenings of Tennis beginning this Thursday at the high school courts.

The program is free and open to players ages 14 and older (younger if accompanied by an adult). Players should bring tennis shoes, balls, water and a racquet.

Each evening’s activities start at 6:30 p.m. with the first five minutes used for mind and body warm-up. The next 10 minutes are for practicing the “Tip of the Day,” with the balance of the evening for play. Dennis 4 Tennis will help match players of similar levels.

This is the third year of the program. Past years have seen anywhere from seven to 21 players each evening.
