Jackson State University Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Tennis Team hosted Nickelodeon\u2019s 10th Annual Worldwide Day of Play on Sept. 7, 2013.
\nWorldwide Day of Play is a health and wellness initiative to help address the growing health problems that exist in today\u2019s youth.
\nTo help fight obesity, promote wellness, and get the youth engaged in the sport of tennis, the JSU tennis team gave free lessons to youth in the Jackson community.
\nScott Pennington, Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Tennis Coach, said \u201cI was glad we were able to reach out to the community to get the children and adults out and introduce our players and the sport of tennis. It was a nice day. I look forward to doing more free play in the future for our players and the community.\u201d
\nAccording to Kurt Kamperman, USTA Chief Executive of Community Tennis, USTA free tennis play events are a great opportunity to get kids active and to encourage them to lead a healthy lifestyle during National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.
\n\u201cIn addition, these events provide a fantastic platform to showcase the fun and excitement of youth tennis, and will encourage families to get involved in the sport,\u201d said Kamperman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
