Sue Tarzian and Carrie Strum, directors of the Recreation Department's Tennis Program, are introducing another exciting tennis program for children. The Junior Ladder Match Play Program is an intramural league for children ages 10-18. It is a program geared towards children who are looking for a chance to compete in tennis but might not be ready for a travel type team.

The League will be organized by age and playing ability. Each child entered must be able to serve from the baseline, sustain a slow paced rally, keep score unassisted and have an understanding of the rules. Competitive match play will be formatted to fit the children's playing level. This program will be minimally supervised during match play. Our professional teaching staff will set up the matches.

Ladder match players will compete weekly against each other in a round robin format spread over 12 weeks. All players must be available to play on Sunday between the hours of 2-4 p.m. There will be no make-ups. The cost of this program is $130.

To register by mail or in person, make up a form listing your child's name, address, age, phone number and indicate on the sheet that you are interested in "junior ladder play." Enclose a check made out to the "Inc. Village of Garden City" and either mail or drop off the form at the main Recreation Office at 351 Stewart Avenue.
