Bulletin — Our elementary schools program is a well-funded, grant-based partnership with the USTA to introduce tennis to primary school children as part of the physical education curriculum. With two schools to serve in HH, two in Bluffton, and two in Beaufort, we need volunteer coaches in all three towns. Please contact Elaine Killoran (epkilloran@gmail.com) if you are interested! Since we visit each school once or twice a semester, this program has a limited time commitment and is great fun!
