Why Tennis?
“Youth Tennis, says the USTA, is easy to learn and tailored for all ages and abilities, giving kids a game that will help them build friendships and learn skills they’ll use for life.” Such skills as goal setting, teamwork, anger management, perseverance, never give up, builds self-confidence learning how to win & lose graciously to name a few. Tennis is a game for a lifetime.

If it rains, tennis camp is moved indoors to the ICYO Learning Center for board games, computer lab, arts & crafts & watching old tennis matches.
Transportation is provided to those ICYO children who need it at no charge
Small breakfast (breakfast bars, bananas, juice) and full lunch are provided to all ICYO participants and volunteers at no charge at the Withrow HS picnic pavilion
Children benefit from playing tennis by being involved in a healthy activity from a sport they can play for a lifetime. They learn team building, focus, anger management, discipline, hard work, goal setting, structure, and good sportsmanship. It helps their self-confidence grow while they have fun, make new friends, and learn new skills
