Young netters attend annual tennis camp
Warren County High School tennis coach David Dunlap held his annual tennis camp this week with over 32 campers participating. The camp was divided into three sessions: Ages 5-8, ages 9-10 and ages 12-18.
Coach Dunlap — with the help of high school tennis players Kristen Sharpe, Morgan Gonder, Blake Hitchcock, Holly Ray, Elisha Ray, Beck Spurlock and Jacob Wilson — instructed the campers with drills to help improve their game.
“This has been a good week,” Dunlap said. “We have a lot of kids out here excited about tennis and all three sessions have been really positive. There’s some good young talent out here and several of these kids have improved so much since the first day.
“This camp is all about getting young kids interested in tennis and helping them to learn the game. We’ve had some of the high school kids out here helping and everybody has had a good time.”
Campers worked on their forehand, backhand, volley and serving over the week-long camp. Coach Dunlap handed out camp T-shirts on Friday as the first camp of the summer came to an end.
There will be a second camp July 26-30 and anyone interested in attending can contact David Dunlap or the McMinnville Civic Center.
