Oklahoma Tennis Foundation Kicking Off Summer Outreach with Free Hall of Fame Tennis Clinics

The Oklahoma Tennis Foundation (OKTF) has set off on a high note with their free youth tennis clinic, which took place last week in Henryetta. The event was a tremendous success, thanks to the hard work and dedication of numerous volunteers who generously offered their time and expertise to ensure a well-run clinic. 

A big driving force behind the success of OKTF and these recent clinics is Carmen Bond, the Executive Director of the Foundation. Carmen Bond is always expressing her appreciation for the Foundation’s dedicated volunteers. Bond emphasizes that OKTF’s ability to positively influence the lives of young tennis players in the community would not have been possible without the unwavering support of these committed individuals.

The clinic in Henryetta brought together 45 enthusiastic kids and 30 dedicated coach volunteers. This impressive turnout allowed the OKTF to make a substantial impact, reaching three counties in Oklahoma: Okmulgee, Delaware, and Tulsa. If anyone is interested in contributing to the free outreach tennis clinics in the future, please reach out to Carmen Bond. 

A special shout out goes to James and Connie McCullough, who played a vital role in setting up and hosting the clinic. Their assistance and hospitality as hosts were instrumental in making the event run smoothly and ensuring its success. Carolyn Richmond and Shannon Dowdell had essential roles with their outstanding work in managing the check-in process, distributing t-shirts and bags, and ensuring that the participants had snacks readily available. Their attention to detail and efficiency played a significant role in creating a positive experience for everyone involved. Patrick Doughty and the generosity of Proforma CNR Marketing provided the clinic participants with t-shirts and cinch bags, enhancing the experience and creating a sense of unity among the young participants.
