TRAVEL TO CARIBBEAN FOR ANGUILLA TENNIS ACADEMY

PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 19, 2007 – A group of four area youngsters from Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis and Education (AAYTE), 4842 Ridge Ave., have been selected to participate in an instructional tennis program in the Caribbean as part of the annual Anguilla Tennis Academy Summer Camp's International Week.

The youngsters, David Negron, 16, and Kenny Green, 16, both of the Logan section of Philadelphia; Shaquille Vaughn, 15, of Mt. Airy; and Galen Guevara, 14, of Abington, Montgomery County, are spending a week on Anguilla as part of the program.

Lance Lee, AAYTE Head Tennis Pro, said the youngsters were chosen to participate in the program on the basis of their attendance throughout the year and their dedication to improving their tennis and academic skills, basic tenants of the Arthur Ashe curriculum.

“We want this visit to Anguilla to be a learning experience for our boys and girls, as well as an opportunity to test their tennis talents against international competition,” said Lee, who will accompany the youngsters on their journey.

Lee noted that Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis and Education is planning to host a group of youngsters from the Anguilla Tennis Academy at their complex in Philadelphia next summer.
