Racket Club Scholarship Applications Available to Junior Tennis Players

Walt Herrick Memorial Foundation provides membership and lesson scholarships to local Junior tennis players

Are you a junior player (ages 18 & under) who is dedicated to the sport of tennis? Do you live and breathe tennis? Do you eat and sleep tennis? Beyond all that, do you lead a complete life that includes things like responsibility, contribution, volunteerism, academics, and courteousness? These are qualities that deserve to be recognized. And they shall be!

Junior tennis players who exhibit these qualities are invited to apply for a Walt Herrick Memorial Foundation junior scholarship. This scholarship goes towards a membership or lessons at The Racket Club between September 2015 and August 2016. The amount of each scholarship will depend on available funds and number of winners, each of which will be determined at a later time. Financial need will be considered, but is not the sole determinant. If you would like to be considered, you can pick up an application at the front counter or at www.theracketclub.org in the Forms section. Applications are due to Conni Stinek by March 31. Good luck!

The Racket Club, a facility of Crystal Lake Park District, is located at 9101 South Route 31 (one mile south of Rakow Road) in Algonquin, Illinois 60102. Please call Tennis Director, Conni Stinek with questions at 847-658-5688, ext. 15.
