The 19th Annual Jac Roth Free Tennis Clinic will be held on Saturday, August 14 from 9 a.m. to noon at Richard Craig Park in McDonough with registration starting at 8:15 a.m. The first 50 participants to register online at www.hcprd.org will receive a free tee-shirt. Registration is listed under the Happening Now button.

The clinic is free to everyone and open to all age and experience levels. Participants will learn the basic fundamentals of the serve, volley, forehand and backhand from experienced volunteer tennis instructors. Equipment will be provided by the Henry County Parks and Recreation Department as well as the instructors themselves.

Participants will be split into age groups ranging from elementary up to adult and will have the opportunity to win prizes during court lessons. Ball machines will be set up for more experienced players who wish to focus on consistency.

Jac Roth was the founder of the free tennis clinic and an avid tennis enthusiast. Herman and Joeann Compton and the McDonald family honor his memory by continuing the clinic 19 years after his passing.
