Any girl interested in playing junior high tennis this fall is invited to attend the pre-season tennis clinic at Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Club.
This clinic has been offered to high school girls interested in playing tennis in the past. With our club tennis team at the junior high for 2010, we would like to make this clinic available to girls interested in playing at that level.
If you have any questions, please contact varsity coach Jeffrey Hoover at 513-300-3116 or by email @ bruinhoov@yahoo.com.
