After reaching the Skyline Conference Tournament semifinals last season, the Purchase College men’s and women’s tennis teams decided to take their success to a different stage.
Teaming up with Backyard Sports, an organization that teaches tennis fundamentals and promotes positive values to young athletes, the Panthers agreed to instruct the 10-and-under program last month at New Rochelle High School and the YMCA in White Plains.
“By virtue of their leadership and their technical capabilities, they’re exceptional examples for the kids,” said Danny Bernstein, the founder and head coach of Backyard Sports. “They’re passionate for the game and are using it to transform the lives of younger generations.”
