Vincennes Youth Tennis Program to offer instruction for those age 5-11th grade
Vincennes University Tennis Coach Ron Albers has announced that the Vincennes Youth Tennis Program will be conducted again this summer at the VU Tennis Courts on the campus.
The program is offered to all students between five years old and the 11th grade, regardless of tennis or athletic ability or background. The program is ideal for any youngster interested in learning the game or taking their game to the next level, Albers said.
The tennis clinic will be May 29-June 1 and June 4-7 (Friday, June 8, and Monday, June 11, will be makeup dates, if necessary). Call 812-888-4474 for daily clinic status in the event of inclement weather.
Younger participants will be placed in age groups, but more advanced training will be available to a limited number of middle school and high school tournament-level players completing grades 5-11. The clinic format will be:
· PEEWEE TENNIS GROUP:

Cost: $35 for two-week session.

· TOURNAMENT PLAYERS GROUP:

Cost: $105 for the two-week session.
Albers has coached VU Tennis since 1980, leading the Trailblazers to the NJCAA National Championship in 2011 and to a spot in the tournament each year since 1984. He is a member of the NJCAA Tennis Hall of Fame and a winner of the Wilson and K Swiss National Coach of the Year awards.
