Tennis Workshops for Brownies and Juniors

Bring your girls to a tennis workshop this spring or summer at the YMCA Meyer Center in Edwardsville and earn the USTA/GSUSA National Tennis Patch. The United States Tennis Association collaborated with Girl Scouts of the USA in developing the requirements for this patch which may be worn on the back of a sash or vest.

 

Requirements include learning basic tennis terms, tennis scoring, and tennis instruction. Each workshop includes three Saturdays of tennis, Brownies are an hour in length and Juniors are an hour and a half. As a prerequisite for earning this patch, Juniors will need to write a one-page essay on their favorite professional tennis player. Juniors will also complete a few of the requirements for the Court Sports badge by participating in this workshop. Listed below are the session times and other information. Sign up your troop and get ready for some exciting fun on the tennis court!
