The mission: introduce over 1000 kids from schools in Delaware to the sport of tennis. Tennis in the Streets is an annual event held in conjunction with the USPTA, USTA, RSTTA and Wilmington Parks and Recreation. RSTTA had such a blast at the Brandywine School District Elementary Fitness Festival on Saturday, May 20th! It was an amazing opportunity for RSTTA to connect with the community. Thank you to Matt Farina and all of the wonderful volunteers, vendors and families for making it a great afternoon! We hope to see some of the kids at our summer camp starting June 19th!
