SHAC is inviting one and all to take part in an every Wednesday FREE Foam Ball Tennis Child & Parent Team fun activity starting this Wednesday 10/16.
This fun Child and Parent program will be each Wednesday evening from 5:45-6:45 on the indoor court at SHAC Center, 27 Lake Avenue in Averill Park. It is open to kids 5-10 years old who come with their parent, guardian or older sibling. We will give basic instruction and then play some fun tennis-type games. Your kids have already experienced similar activities as part of our summer camp or during last year’s Winter Break event and I suspect this time you may like to join in on the fun with them. If you can’t come each Wednesday no problem. Come when you can, you and your child will have a lot of fun whenever you do.
Information about this activity can be found in the program description attached or online at www.shaccenter.org. Come join the fun this Wednesday and all following Wednesdays through November 20th.
