On June 17, over 60 children and their caregivers came out to learn tennis or to improve their skills at the Garden City Collegiate community tennis courts, located at 711 Jefferson Ave.
Hosted by the Garden City Tennis Group, this first annual free tennis fest event was sponsored by Tennis Manitoba. Executive director Steve Dreger supplied all the tennis rackets and other equipment for event day, and invited eight of Manitoba‘s elite youth tennis players to be part of the training sessions. Head coach Dennis Flores was assisted by Jowen Sangalang, Edj Villamar, Boni Riteul, Noy Manalasesa, and Derek Dabee. Refreshments were sponsored by area councillor Devi Sharma.
