Fremont Tennis Association

Mike Willman, president of the Fremont Tennis Association, presents Diana Myers, representing the Fremont Family YMCA, with a check for $700 to purchase equipment for the YMCA’s new QuickStart Junior Tennis Program. The funds were used to purchase small portable nets, junior racquets of various sizes, and foam and low compression tennis balls. This new program for youth ages 3-10 years old is being implemented this session for the YMCA’s junior tennis classes.

For those unfamiliar with the program, QuickStart Tennis is an exciting new play format for learning tennis, designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing specialized equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size. For more information, go to QuickStart.

Cardio tennis classes have started up again for the Fall season at the Fremont Family YMCA. Now through October 21, 2009, the class will meet weekly at 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Come and join us. The class includes a warm-up stretching period, followed by tennis drills designed to keep the cardio rate at a good work out level. Then we end with a cool-down period. All this is done with a background of lively music to keep us bouncing.

It is a great way to get a good work-out in a fun environment. Anyone can join in and benefit from both the cardio drills and the tennis practice. You can improve your heart and your game!

The class is free to all YMCA members. Come and join us for a fun, beneficial hour. You’ll be glad you did!
