The Atlanta Open!! A Fantastic Experience for our Above the Net Kids!!

Last week we had the opportunity to take a group of kids to the Atlanta Open. Above the Net has participated in this event for the last few years and we were eager to share the experience with our kids. This year was especially important as it will be the last year for the event in Atlanta!! After an early start at Richard Craig, we loaded the kids into cars and headed to Atlantic Station where we were greeted by Fiona of USTA GA and handed our tickets. We then sent the kids to the courts where they participated in a variety of tennis drills. Next, they were led to the main court where they listened to the singing National Anthem and then greeted and cheered the doubles players as they entered the court.

After checking out the vendors, taking pictures, and getting some much needed refreshments, they headed back to the stadium to watch a professional tennis match!


Then it was time for lunch before heading back to the courts for a serving contest in which our very own Annointed won for the girls fastest serve!!

Next, the kids were able to go back into the stadium to watch another professional match before heading back to Richard Craig Park!!

All in all, a great day for the kids (and the parent chaperones)....a day that they will not soon forget!!

Thanks again for USTA GA for providing this wonderful opportunity!
