HOLLEY – Andrew Grillo hits a tennis ball to a group of kids at a tennis camp at Holley on Monday. There were about 15 participants on the first day of a tennis camp.
The program is funded with a grant from the U.S. Tennis Association. The camp is usually held in Albion at the school tennis courts, but with those courts under construction Holley is hosting the camp.
The camp is run by the Village of Albion of Albion Recreation Department.
There are two different weeks of camps. This week it runs Monday through Friday except on July Fourth. Next week the camp is from July 8-12, except for July 9.
The camp runs from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There is no charge to participants.
Basic tennis skills will be taught to the beginners with tennis drills and low-level competitive match situations. Scoring, rules and regulations will be taught along with tennis strategies, said John Grillo, the Albion recreation director ad retired tennis coach at Holley.
There is no pre-registration and participants can still join. Email jgrillo3@hotmail.com if there are any questions.
