Friends, family, food and tennis– the makings of a perfect Saturday afternoon on the Lipscomb campus.
From 4-6 p.m. Saturday, April 9, the Lipscomb Racquet Club will host its second annual Tennis Block Party at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center.
The Lipscomb tennis program will host the free block party that is open to students and members of the community.
Head coach Andrew Harris said the event will be open to all ages and levels of ability.
“One of the great things about the sport of tennis is that, no matter the age, anyone can participate,” Harris said. “We will have clinics for kids from 4-7 years old all the way up through adults. Beginners, intermediates, and advanced players are welcome to come out.”
There will be prizes and giveaways throughout the afternoon as well as free refreshments.
Harris said after a positive turnout last year, he hopes to see another big group on Saturday.
“Last year we had over 200 people from the community come enjoy the festivities, and we are looking forward to another big turnout this year as well to come and see the Lipscomb Racquet Club,” Harris said.
The block party will follow Lipscomb’s men’s and women’s tennis teams’ matches against Atlantic Sun rival Belmont in the Battle of the Boulevard. Match play will begin at 10 a.m., and party participants are encouraged to come early and support the teams.
