Once again the USTA Central PA District is sponsoring Kids Day on Friday, August 11 FREE to youth ages 4 to 14. The day includes on-court fun and games from 10 am to 11:30, and some off-court fun in the afternoon near the stadium court. Attached is a sheet of tickets to register for the morning activities. Please share these with family and youth at your facilities.
