10/18/2009 - Meadville, Pa.

The Gator tennis team had plenty of sunshine for the annual Free Tennis Clinic held this year at the Robertson Athletic Complex. Kids ranging in ages from 6 to 17 came from all over the surrounding Meadville area to participate in a morning filled with plenty of fun and high quality tennis instruction.

The Free Clinic is a way for the Gators to give back to the community and encourage kids to play tennis and have fun doing it. Kids participated in games and drills run by the Gator players and some were able to play out points against players.

The clinic wrapped up with Coach Luteran talking to the kids about some tennis fundamentals and his best attempt to encourage more of them to become Cleveland Browns fans. Captains Lauren Kristofco, Sara Longo, Jake Allmaras, and Ben Hurtuk awed the group with some fast paced tournament doubles points. Senior Evan Gordon capped the morning off with a truly impressive juggling performance. All of the participants received a Bryan Brothers poster.
