October 2011 - Parks & Recreation - 92

Every year NRPA asks all of the TIP participating communities
to share their best practices and ideas. The following is a
sample of the terrific ideas and programs that connect tennis
communities across the country and facilitate the enjoyment of
tennis for a lifetime.
Facility Renovation/Construction:
Taking the Beast to Beauty
Cooperation and Collaboration Builds
Community Engagement and Support, Sandusky, OH
Originally, the Perkins Township
Schools in Sandusky, Ohio had
seven frightful, crack-infested
courts, with three of them being
just parking lots with lines
painted on. The challenge was
to reconstruct this eyesore into
a modern tennis facility while
being fiscally responsible. In
the spirit of cooperation and
collaboration between the schools
and township, it was agreed that
even though the new courts would
be on school grounds, they would
also serve as a true community
resource, accessible to all within
the community. Building upon
the collaborative spirit of the
project, they reached out to the local business community for contracting,
landscaping, paving
and construction,
delivering superior
results.
Project funding
was accomplished
through community
donors, a USTA/NRPA
facility grant and
the Perkins Athletic
Boosters, with the
balance provided by
the schools.
Since the
refurbishment, court
usage has increased
tenfold and the facility is now a source of community pride, hosting
tournaments, conference championships and community functions.

10 and Under Tennis
Advantage Idea: QuickStart Tennis Tournament, Cottonwood Heights, UT
Creating player teams of four kids 10 years old and under, Cottonwood
Heights Park and Recreation developed their 10 and Under Tennis program
around qualifying tournaments that led up to the final tournament of the
season.
Each team came up with a team name and designed its own poster board
for display. Teams played two games per match, singles only, no-ad
scoring. To keep score, five flat cones were placed behind each court
labeled LOVE, 15, 30, 40, GAME. After each point, kids would place an extra
ball in the appropriate scoring cone, visually helping them to learn how to
score. Medals were awarded to the top three players and the team scoring
the most points. A parent or a staff person monitored each court to assist
kids in scoring correctly.
Parent involvement was very enthusiastic; they not only helped coach,
but also brought refreshments and cheered on the participants. In the
future, they plan to add in a special adult -friendly QuickStart Tennis play
format competition and expand the awards to include categories such as
sportsmanship, best attitude, most points, etc..
