From the very first day as volunteer coaching partners at Clarkson, together with Albert, I could tell this league had something electric about it. Although I had been involved in tennis over many years, I had never seen a league like this! Right from the beginning, and to this day, the kids are always excited, happy, and having lots of fun. They all had “happy feet”, meaning that they’re always moving with joy. The reason it works is that everyone participates equally, with positive like sportsmanship, and a fun, friendly environment. The parents can easily notice the improvements and progression of their child thru each session.
As my daughter progressed thru the whole program from start to finish, she continues her involvement in the league as a volunteer to this day. Albert is always making marked improvements along the way, and has exceptional organizational skills that are evident. It’s been great to see Albert always putting smiles on the kids faces, with great patience, and has been a immense contribution to the tennis community at large. He also has an abundance of compassion that shows in the wheelchair league. It’s almost magical to see him at work on the courts as he mingles, and has a great reputation with the parents, as well as treating the volunteers with great respect. It’s quit obvious the success of the league shows by the numbers of participants always racing to sign up for the next session. Many kudos to Albert and the league for its continued success!
