Tennis camp back for another go round in Folsom

The 17th annual Community Bible Church youth tennis camp is being held this week in Folsom, for the second consecutive year at Ernie Sheldon Community Park. Twenty-two kids between second and sixth grade joined in the fun with Pat Ryan, long time tennis instructor and former tennis coach at Oak Ridge and Broadstone Racquet Club, and his wife, Shari, who handles the daily Biblical teaching during the camp. The main instructors for the camp were 10 high school teenagers, two of which who attended the same camp when they were younger. The camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Campers learn proper tennis etiquette to start and then technique for the forehand shot on Monday, the backhand on Tuesday, and the serve on Wednesday and put it all together for a practice day Thursday. On Friday, the campers rendezvous at Broadstone Racquet Club for more tennis fun before enjoying the pool in the afternoon.
