2 SC Tennis Centers Make Top 50 Welcome Center List

“All of the more than 2,100 Tennis Welcome Centers have played an important role in the increased tennis participation we’ve seen in the last few years in the U.S.,” said Tennis Industry Association Executive Director Jolyn de Boer of Hilton Head Island. “These Top 50 Tennis Welcome Centers have been doing an exemplary job of creating a positive tennis experience for people in their communities.”
