May is National Tennis Month, and one Lima organization is giving area tennis enthusiasts an opportunity to learn more about the sport! The Lima Area Tennis Association, or LATA, hosted a "Tennis 101" session for adults Monday evening at the Collett Street Recreation Area. A variety of beginner, intermediate, and advanced tennis players laced up their sneakers, grabbed their rackets, and received fun instructional training on tennis maneuvers and motions. Even if you are not a pro on the court, LATA officials say the goal is to simply have fun and engage in something healthy for the body.

May is National Tennis Month, and the organization is getting the word out about the various activities they have going on this summer. The Lima Area Tennis Association board has been working with the U.S. Tennis Association to host a lot more tournaments around the area this year. Plus, they are gearing up for another summer full of camps teaching tennis to kids, but they are also looking to expand their programming for adults.
