David Dinkins Tennis Club Classes Gears Up for Harlem Kids
The David Dinkins Tennis Club will hold free summer tennis classes starting July 14 – September 30, 8 – 10AM. Classes will be held at Harlem’s famed “Jungle” tennis courts at the Frederick Johnson Park, 150th street and 7th avenue, where Althea Gibson, the first African American to win Wimbledon, the French Open and the US Open, first learned to play.
Registration is ongoing and open to five-ten year old children and their families. All equipment, including racquets, balls, court lines and nets has been provided by a grant from the US Tennis Association (USTA), Eastern Section and private donations.
