FBTS in the Community

Sugar Land Tennis Fest     
      

 We had a great Sugar Land Tennis Fest, Saturday, May 12, at Sugar Land City Park

Over 60 players & Future Players came out and enjoyed the games, tennis tips from the Pros, prizes and trying new Wilson tennis racquets with Demo Day from Wilson Sports.
Through a Tennis Raffle, we were able to raise donations to "Tennis Thanks the Troops" - college scholarships for children of U.S. military personnel.

This was part of National Tennis Month with PHIT- Getting America Moving. The goal is to burn one million calories during the month of May with Tennis. We burned a few thousand calories that day.

Cindy Benzon with the U.S. Tennis Association gave us an update on the Net Generation Program being intorduced by the USTA to get kids playing tennis.

Thanks to our Sponsors:
