The “Tennis for All” program, which began in Gastonia in 2021, is now expanding to the Mint Hill – Charlotte area.
On February 26, it will begin on the tennis courts at Veterans Memorial Park in Mint Hill after reaching a collaboration with the city. Mint Hill Mayor Brad Simmons approved adding the program and allowing the use of the tennis courts by United Tennis. The goal of United Tennis is allowing access for young people to the sport of tennis; and this is a unique opportunity to continue fulfilling this mission. At Mint Hill, United Tennis will also work with a group of young people with autism, making “Tennis for All” a much more inclusive program. Furthermore, United Tennis has created a collaboration with the Abilities Tennis NC Foundation to train its staff and provide quality service for all its students.
Also, United Tennis will begin teaching tennis classes on February 29 at CMS School, Collinswood Language Academy. With 45 children registered already. It is the first time that a UTO program has been held in a school. Coach Manuel Rios will be in charge of carrying out the “Tennis for All” program at said school.
