TENNIS IS ELEMENTARY
WHAT IS TENNIS IS ELEMENTARY?
.png)
Tennis is Elementary (TIE) is a statewide after-school program designed for elementary students age 10 and under. Idaho Tennis Association conducts the program at each school’s gym, cafeteria, or multipurpose room by using the “QuickStart” format which includes foam or low-compression balls, smaller racquets and a reduced court size. The program is designed to run two days a week (for 45 minutes to one hour) during the school year in most schools.
Students/parents can register online and IdTA provides all the equipment, instruction and prizes.
In 2009, three pilot programs were administered in the spring and so far in 2010, 13 schools have hosted the program, which has generated over 300 participants. With a lens focused on diversity, IdTA seeks to eventually host a program in every elementary school across the state. We expect close to 1,000 participants in 2010, the first full year of the program, and for that number to grow exponentially in the next few years.
Tennis is Elementary is the ideal program to expose kids to the game of tennis and get exercise in an easy, fun and interactive way. It is the aim of IdTA to get kids excited about tennis so that they will join other programs organized by community tennis associations, clubs, parks and recreation departments and pros.
