Event information:
Women in Tennis Together is an amazing inspirational event for young women in grades 9-12 who play tennis in New England. For the second year in a row, we’re bringing young women together at Wellesley College on September 24th to play tennis with positive coaching and to learn how they can use tennis to help build a successful future from strong female role models. The day starts out with a mix of tennis and learning (see below for format). After a complimentary lunch, the second half of the day is filled with interactions with female role models within the tennis world. This event is limited to 32 players – so act fast!
