Friday nights can be tricky after a long work week or shuttling your own kids to sports programs. So when BYSC entered into a partnership with Sound Shore Indoor Tennis to run a comprehensive clinic for over 65 underserved kids throughout the county, Scarsdale mom Terry Gushner came to volunteer with her son Eli, but wasn’t sure where this would all lead.
“I love tennis and wanted to give back, but had no idea how attached to the kids I would become. Instead of feeling tired from a long week, I come home after playing with these kids and feel light and energized”. Terry is now in her second year teaching and mentoring the kids and tells us, it is the highlight of her week.
BYSC is committed through partnerships with Sound Shore and the United States Tennis Association(USTA) to provide quality tennis programs for underserved and special needs children throughout the county.
This summer, on Tuesday, July 21st, at New Rochelle High School at the BYSC run Camp Shape, BYSC is hosting a “Coach Day”. All interested tennis enthusiasts who might be interested in learning about our programs and volunteering are encouraged to come in tennis gear to see us in action and help us teach.
