🎾 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! 🎾

Help our athletes build confidence, develop new skills, and discover the joy of tennis! Special Olympics Howard County is looking for volunteers to support our Tennis Skills Program this fall.

This program gives athletes the opportunity to learn and develop fundamental tennis skills—including racket bounce, forehand volleys, backhand ground strokes, serves, and movement—before advancing to match play. It's also designed to provide opportunities for athletes who use mobility or equipment assistance devices.

📅 Thursdays | August 27–October 15, 2026
⏰ 6:00–7:30 PM
📍 Marriotts Ridge High School

No matter your tennis experience, your time and encouragement can make a meaningful difference! ❤️🎾
