Varsity Teams taking part in the USTA Campus Kids Day

Duke Women’s Tennis, together with fans in the Royal Blue Club, reached out to donors to collect 25 tennis racquets. The women’s team also coordinated with The Girls Club, which is a campus group that mentors middle school girls. The team was invited to the holiday event The Girls Club hosts for those they mentor and was able to present the racquets as well as share what it is like to balance college sports with academics and campus life. It was a very positive role modeling opportunity for the team and the kids and the racquets were much appreciated. Plans are under way to have the girls come to some matches and participate in a clinic or two. Hopefully we’ll have introduced some young teens to the sport for a lifetime!
