Tennis camp scheduled
The Greene County Department of Recreation will offer an all-ages weeklong tennis camp at the county’s tennis courts on Rolling Meadows Road in Waynesburg. Private lessons also will be available at the camp.
The camp will run from July 15-19. Instruction sessions are 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. for children ages 7 to 11, and 10 to 11:30 a.m. for ages 12 and older. The camp costs $55 and includes a T-shirt. The deadline to register is July 8. The first 12 people enrolled for each session will be accepted, and a $10 deposit is required with registration.
Camp instructors will be Ron Headlee and John Buchanan, both certified United States Tennis Association instructors. Both have played tennis competitively for years and have worked with young children, with Buchanan currently in charge of the Greene County tennis league.
The Department of Recreation also will offer private lessons this summer in the form of one-hour sessions. The sessions cost $25 for one person, or $40 for two or four people, and are all-ages. In addition to Headlee and Buchanan, Jessica Bazzoli, a competitive player from Fairmont State University, will teach lessons.
The tennis camp is sponsored by Greene County commissioners and the Department of Recreation. For more information, or to register for the camp or lessons, call 724-852-5323.
