The program will be coordinated by local professional Jeremy McClelland, who will be assisted by volunteers from the WOTC.
Sessions will consist of instruction, drills, games, and/or competition.
The online registration link is open at wotennisclub.weebly.com. A USTA information form will need to be completed prior to completion of the registration. Parents/guardians will need to complete a waiver on the first day of each session.
This program is named for its founder Millie Mulhern, who along with her husband Jerry, devoted years to growing youth tennis in the Ohio Valley.
"In their memory, we want to continue to offer this free program with the goal of introducing tennis to as many youth as possible," WOTC President Debbie Pickens said.
