SET POINT, Inc. seeks participation from the underserved youth of the city between the ages 8 through 15 years. Our camp requires girls not to have to played competitive tennis prior to acceptance, and all will learn the rules of the game, its etiquette, and how to play a complete set of tennis. By the end of the camp, each youth participating will have the skills necessary to try out for positions on their school tennis teams in the fall. Our bottom line is to get girls educated! We know girls can become successful college graduates upon acquiring and then utilizing principles learned while involved in an individual sport like tennis, with education, which can propel and sustain them through completion.
