T0: Joe Stefani1 Director, Mendota Heights Park Board
FROM: Sandy Sclaure
RE: Tennis
Enclosed please find a copy with some information re the Twin City
Tennis organization of which Jeff Azen is the .Area Director, and which
organization provides tennis instructors for tennis instruction to•the
various park boards in the Twin Cities. Mr. Azen said he bad talked with
y him to me. �rou anyou referred a
I met with Mr. Azen last Saturday, and I was quite impressed about
he philosophy of teaching tennis, and I feel that they have good
instructors on their staff. I told him that our tennis courts would not
be finished until mid or late summer; I talked with Kevin re the status of
the tennis court construction. If the Mendota Heights Park Board can obtain
the use of either the courts at St. Thomas or at Sibley High School for an
early summer instruction program before the outdoor courts are finished or
if you are interested in a tennis instruction program for adults and/or
youth for the latter part of the summer you can contact him.
The charges for tennis lessons are as follows: $6.00 for Youth,
$8.00 for Adults, and $10,00 for Teens. This is $1.00 per hour , so
this would be broken down into 6 one hour lessons for Youth, 8 one hour
lessons for Adults, etc.
The organization is fairly new, but to date they are contracted to
several of the park boards here in the Twin Cities. Their projection is
to have a travelling league possibly next year. I thoughtyou might want
to pass this information to the other members of the Park Board at the next
meeting. I feel that there are many members of the Mendota Heights community
that would be interested in this kind of a program.
