Middle Schoolers Take To The Courts
AAACTA & Sixth Graders... A Great Match!
Take 140 eager adolescents. Add stalwart volunteers, happy to share time and tennis know-how. Mix 'em up for 7 weeks on the Ann Arbor Middle School courts across town, and what do you get? AAACTA's Intramural Middle School program, 8 years old and going strong. This spring, AAACTA volunteers met once a week with their 6th grade charges at Forsythe, Slauson, Ann Arbor Open, Clague, Tappan and Scarlett. During that one hour a week, volunteers taught tennis basics which were met with kid-powered enthusiasm, interest and energy.  AAACTA provided balls and racquets, as well as instruction. The kids provided lots of smiles. Check out lots of other photos of the Middle School Program including team photos at www.aaacta.org |

RALLEY RALLEY Fun!
AAACTA & UM Host a Big Day at the Big Courts
 The weather was a winner - super sunny and just as lovely as an early June can be. And the kids hopping out of the school buses had their own spring-thing going. It was the annual Ralleyball Tournament at the UM Varsity Tennis Center, and they had come to play.
Every year AAACTA's Intramural Middle School Program ends with an all-City Ralleyball event. This year the fun-for-all was held on June 5th.
The competition was friendly and high-spirited, the AAACTA donated T-shirts were stylin'.... and the pizza was terrific too!
