We are extremely happy to have Celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting about 120 kids bussed in from the Coachella Valley Unified School District & their Ases After School Program. Besides the tennis clinic they participated in, they started out the day with breakfast hosted by the Desert Recreation District and finished with lunch by Jersey Mike’s. We also had the “Classic” Folklorico dancers and the Mariachi Band to serenade everybody to make it a very special day of celebration.

On behalf of The Love & Love Tennis, Richard Pancho Youth & The Latin American Tennis Foundation who helped with this event, thanks go to all our volunteers, tennis staff, District Recreation District, our sponsors; Hot Purple Energy, Champions Volunteers Foundation, USTAF, SCTF, Jersey Mike’s, Gary & Barbara Tolman for all their support.

LOVE & LOVE TENNIS FOUNDATION FALL CLINICS:

Continues to work toward providing as many free clinics as it can to as many kids in the valley. We have asked some businesses if there are any vacant warehouses in the East Valley that the foundation might be able to use in the summer for kids tennis clinics. We can also use them in the winter!! More to come on the Winter clinics.

We have our September/October clinics in the morning on Saturdays, 8-9:15am at Fitz Burns Park in La Quinta. We will be working on extending these throughout November and December of 2023.

We hope you all have a wonderful Halloween and get lots of treats.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM ALL OF US
