On Wednesday, July 24th, several young tennis players and a handful of loyal fans joined us at the historic Rodney Street Tennis Courts for our annual RodneyStreet Classic tournament. We were pleased to not only see our RodneyStreet players, but other local athletes join us for some friendly competition. Congrats to our winners and runner ups!

As proud partners of Girls Inc., we get to work with the amazing young women of Girls Incorporated of Delaware every week. Today we kicked writer's block to the curb and spent time writing responses for the NJTL essay contest. We thought about how we can better our communities as individuals and as a team. Working towards a better future is more fun when we do it together! Write on!

Our Summer Tennis and Enrichment Program is off to an incredible start! Our first day of programming started on the courts, where we reviewed basic tennis skills. Then we moved over to the classrooms, where we made "all about us" posters to help get to know each other a bit better. We cannot wait for all that is left to come this summer!
