Inwood Country Club hosted the annual United States Tennis Association Long Island Region Kids’ Day on July 21 sponsored by the USTA LI Region and the Inwood Charities Fund, Inc.
The event was open to children attending individually as well as those attending with summer camps and programs. Participating groups included: Lawrence Woodmere Academy, JCC of the Five Towns, Daniel Burgess Tennis Academy Summer Camp in Freeport, Alliance Junior Tennis Camp in Roosevelt, and the Hicksville Community Tennis Association.
A few hundred children took part in this free day of tennis learning, games, contests, food and fun. Coordinated by local tennis professionals and other volunteers, the event provided an introduction for newcomers to the sport, who received basic instruction. More experienced players competed against their peers.
