Volunteers Needed for 2012 Jacksonville Tennis Assemblies, Festivals

USTA Florida in the Jacksonville area is seeking fun and energetic volunteers to assist with tennis activities in 2012. No tennis experience required!

Physical Education (PE) assemblies will be held in Jacksonville elementary schools on various dates in February, on weekdays during the day.

"Activities are all simple and easy enough for any adult to be able to assist with, with no tennis background," says USTA Florida Jacksonville-area Tennis Program Coordinator Amanda Becker. "Volunteers will need a background check which will be paid for by USTA Florida."

On Feb. 25 from 1-3 p.m., Burnett Park will host a Tennis Festival for elementary school-age children, and volunteers will be needed for on-court activities, face painting (simple designs such as tennis balls and racquets), tennis ball cookie decorating station, tennis arts and crafts, photo opportunities, check-in station, and registration station. All materials and equipment will be provided.

Volunteers interested in learning more can attend a workshop on Saturday, Jan. 28 from 1-4:30 p.m. at the Bolles School's San Jose Campus. Registration fees will be waived for participants that will be volunteering in the above activities. Registration for the workshop is online at:
