Tennis Anyone? Top Instructor To Lead Clinic

A free community tennis clinic with a top instructor will be offered by the Glasgow Recreation Department at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, in the Glasgow Civic Center.

The clinic will be instructed by Jeremiah Walsh, director of tennis at Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness in Redding, Calif., since 2009. He was hired at 24 as the youngest Division I collegiate head coach in the country at Virginia Military Institute (VMI).

This clinic is for adults who want to teach tennis to kids. No tennis experience is necessary. Just show up and learn.

Following his coaching stint at VMI, where the team had their most winning season in over a decade, Walsh started a tennis facility management company in Colorado. In 2003 his program design for one of the largest recreation districts in the country won the USTA National Programming award for “Excellence in Tennis Programming.”

Walsh also served as the head coach at the University of Northern Colorado and most recently at Southern Oregon University, where the team set a single-season win percentage record.

He works to develop athletes towards their goals and commitments both locally and with professional and collegiate athletes.

In the last two years, he has helped create The Ascension Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of better people through their athletic commitments.
