2010 LOTA GOES TO GREENE COUNTY - Summer 2010
LOTA Members Coach Local Students

The Lake Oconee Tennis Association launched the LOTA Junior Tennis Program this April at the Redeemer Episcopal School on Harmony Road in Eatonton, Ga. The purpose of the program was to introduce young children to the game of tennis.

LOTA members Martha Franks and Danny Roland directed nineteen students, grades Kindergarten thru Third, two afternoons a week. Five sessions were held on the school grounds and the last three at the Cuscowilla tennis courts.

The training program and equipment used in helping these students learn recreational tennis is the USTA Quick Start Tennis Program for beginners. Our LOTA Volunteers, Brenda and Bob Bourdage, Diane and Mike Johnson, Donna Blackwell, Lynn Artz, Rick Franks, Joan Eubanks, and REA headmaster Dr. Trish Klein, all contributed in making this program a great success.

Anyone interested in volunteering or learning more about their programs can do so by contacting Martha Franks at 706-467-2978 or Danny Roland at 706-769-2661. Thanks to Kelly Buttrick for the following photos.
