In response to the article “Youth tennis players ask for first call for courts” (CVN, Vol. 32 No. 14).
I strongly support court time for our youth. The importance of “sports” (and the arts) for our youth in our community is very important for a healthy community.
Ron Mousouris is an asset to our community. We are fortunate he has been instructing tennis to our kids in our community for years. Several kids I know have gotten college scholarships through high school tennis. It keeps our kids engaged in a healthy sport… the more positive opportunities our youth has the better!
We obviously need more pickleball courts. I would be happy to be on a committee working with the city of Carpinteria to locate an open space to locate more courts and possibly more tennis courts?
