Make A Difference Day
The Allegheny men’s and women’s tennis teams participated in the national “Make a Difference Day” by volunteering their time to help paint at the local Meadville Children’s Center on campus. For the past nine years the Allegheny tennis teams have participated in “Make a Difference Day” by volunteering at such places as Conneaut Lake Park, The Academy Theater, Roche Park, and Hog Heaven. This year members of both teams, along with the coaching staff, woke up early on Saturday October 22nd and painted at the Meadville Children's Center until the classrooms looked like new. The day served as a chance for the tennis teams and coaches to give back to the community and also to spend some time with one another.
Free Tennis Clinic for Kids
The Allegheny men's and women's tennis teams held their annual free tennis clinic for the youth of Meadville and surrounding areas on Sunday, October 23rd. Everyone ages 5-18 was invited to attend the event and a wide range of skill levels were present at the clinic. The Gators enjoyed an hour and a half of sharing their passion for the game of tennis with kids of all ages and abilities. The morning began with a warm-up led by the players, followed by drills, instruction, games, prizes, and of course a whole lot of fun.
