Our goal is to help furnish equipment to be used in the brand-new, 6-court Ernest Grundy Tennis Center(EGTC). Currently, we are transporting equipment between Harmon Park and the EGTC. This makes it very difficult in the fall and spring months when our tennis programming utilizes both facilities. There are many training aids that tennis students could benefit from at both facilities. Also we provide racquets to junior players who do not have one, as well as programming scholarships.
Kearney has an active history with the sport of tennis. Kearney currently has 16 outdoor courts, with the most notable being Harmon Park. Harmon Park tennis courts are known across the state as one of the top outdoor venues in Nebraska. Our new indoor tennis facility allows for greater public use and is helping meet the growing demands for tennis programming. With this new facility comes the need for updated equipment to instruct our junior players. Your donation will greatly provide an exceptional experience for our youth tennis players.
For over 40 years, Kearney has been a leading community in Nebraska when it comes to tennis. This once in a lifetime opportunity will impact many generations of current and future tennis players. Kearney has over 1,000 tennis participants a year, and this facility will give them an opportunity to play year-round and during inclement weather.
