USPTA Tennis Fun Day Photos

The Tennis Across America Fun Day at Columbia Lakes had 12 participants this past Saturday. 'Warren' from Sweeny, Texas plays for the Sweeny Junior High Tennis Team and was a guest of Seth Myers, who plays for West Columbia High School. Warren and Seth are cousins. One of the great things about tennis is that it brings families closer together...!
