For the 13th year, Gwynedd-Mercy College will play host to the annual
“Touch of Tennis” clinic. On Tuesday nights at 6:30pm through August
9th, men’s and women’s tennis head coach Jim Holt will lead
volunteers in teaching special needs individuals the fundamentals of
the game.
In February, the clinic was honored by the United States Tennis
Association (USTA) with its 2010 National Adaptive Service Award for
continued excellence and dedication in the community. Holt recognized
a lack of social opportunities for those with disabilities and put
together the event back in 1998. He also believes that forming a
strong support network will help to foster a positive environment.
Students from Gwynedd-Mercy College, Saint Joseph’s University,
Cabrini College and Moravian College will be involved. Local area
high schools will also participate. Other community volunteers are
encouraged, and donations can be made to offset equipment costs.

Gwynedd-Mercy College main campus is situated on Sumneytown Pike
between routes 309 and 202 in Gwynedd Valley, Montgomery County. The
college offers degree programs for working adults through its Center
for Lifelong Learning campuses in Plymouth Meeting and Philadelphia.
