Smile, you're on camera! Or you could be.
Would you like to be able to record your tennis lessons or matches? Well, we are half there in our fundraising to purchase a video recording system to help you improve your tennis. The system will record your tennis action on a DVD so you can review and enjoy it at home on your TV or computer. Recording will be available on court #1, making it possible to record your practices, matches and lessons to help improve your tennis game. Watching yourself play is one of the best ways to gain insights for improving your strokes, serves, footwork and game strategy. Recording your lessons from Y pros can help you get more out of each lesson.
The recorded DVD will cost between $15 and $20. There will be an introductory price of $10 that will be good through the end of the year.
The advisory committee has spent 3 months reviewing requirements and getting bids on the best system. We now know what we need but wee still need $800 to go ahead with the purchase. So, how can you help? Make a donation today to the Tennis Center and let us know you want it to go toward the video system. With a donation of $100, you'll get your first recording session free.
