The High Desert Tennis Association will host its 1st High Desert Junior "Novice" tennis tournament on October 14-15 for ages 16 and under, at Hesperia High School, 9898 Maple Ave., Hesperia 92345. Get all the details here.
We want to make next year's NJTL and other junior tennis classes even more successful than they have been in the past. To do this, we need you to donate your unused racquets. Currently, we loan racquets to students for each class, but when the class is over, they go home with no racquet, which means there is no way for them to play tennis on their own.
With your racquet donations, we can change this.
Simply give your racquets to any HDTA board member: Lela Atkins, Richard Roberts, Doug Shumway, Rick Golden, Dirk George, Tim Wallace, or Greg Raven. We'll fix them up as needed and pass them along to the kids.
Don't forget: HDTA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so all donations are tax deductible, depending on your particular tax situation.
