OPA tennis pro receives ‘Grow the Game’ grant

 
(Dec. 9, 2021) Ocean Pines Racquet Center Head Tennis professional Terry Underkoffler was recently awarded $876 by the United States Tennis Association Mid-Atlantic Region.
 
The grant was given for the efforts by Racquet Center teaching staff last summer, which both attracted new players and enticed existing players to seek tennis instruction.
 
“The Grow the Game grant is a recognition and reward for organizations that are offering entry-level tennis programs aimed at new and returning players,” Underkoffler said. “It was a competitive grant that organizations had to meet specific criteria to receive the award.”
 
Underkoffler and his staff trained more than 80 junior and adult players in a variety of formats last summer. All the Ocean Pines instructors are professionally licensed to teach the skills of the game and return people to play in a safe and welcoming environment.
 
The Ocean Pines Racquet Center is a USTA- recognized site that offers play and instruction all year around.
