GOALS:                       

1) to provide quality tennis instruction to kids of various ages as one of the many alternatives they have during the summer months.

2) to provide parents an option to get their kids out of the house and turn off video games, at least for an hour per day.

3) to get more kids ready to play Junior Team tennis, as well as to help those already playing Juniors get ready for High School caliber tennis.

4) to provide another avenue for kids to get to know and interact with a different group of kids who live in the same neighborhood but may not know each other.

5) to provide group classes that have a lower student/teacher ratio (max 8 kids per court), compared to other name brand clubs with larger group lessons.

6) to enhance the overall ambiance and quality of life in the neighborhood and to get full utilization out of a sometimes neglected resource.

COST: Each session consists of six 1-hour flights as shown below. Cost is $90 per session. Sign up sheets and payment will be due 2 weeks prior to the start of the first session in order to properly establish rosters, create groupings and to put adequate staffing in place.    

Teaching Professional: Kathy Pepper  

SESSION ONE: Tuesday and Thursday, starting June 4, ending June 25. Six total one hour groupings.

1pm: Five to Seven years old. Emphasis on eye-hand coordination, having fun, improving athletic ability and just being exposed to the sport.

Prior to each sweep in your area, we will send out a notice email. Residents should move their vehicles off the street to ensure a clean sweep through your area. A schedule for the entire City is available on our website, www.centennialcolorado.com Our first street sweep is scheduled for April 27.

The following is taken from a letter from an officer for the City of Centennial. 

CMC 7-7-410(b) Running at Large "Control means the dog is on leash, cord, or chain not more than ten feet in length held by a person of sufficient age, size and physical ability to restrain the animal."  

There is no justification for allowing pets to roam. Animals that are not properly restrained may be responsible for causing injury or death. Free-roaming animals also attach other pet animals and wildlife. In additional, the pet overpopulation problem is directly related to the free roaming of (unaltered) cats and dogs. A free-roaming animal is also exposed to disease from other animals, injury or death from traffic (and wildlife such as coyotes), retaliation by irate property owners, or poisoning from the ingestion of garbage.  

We are more than happy to set up increased patrols in areas that citizens see dogs off leash. If there is a specific area please let me know and I will set up some foot patrols immediately.

Officer K. Lantz
