Queens College hosted its inaugural Tennis Outing and Social this past Saturday on its campus in Flushing. The event helped raise money for the Men’s and Women’s Tennis teams at Queens College, and showcased some very good tennis to those who came out and supported.

The day consisted of lessons in the morning, and continued with a round-robin tournament throughout the afternoon. Participants would partner up with a different player each round and receive an individual score at the end of each game.

After the tournament concluded, there was a barbeque and a raffle drawing with the money donated going to the Queens College Men’s and Women’s Tennis programs. It was a beautiful day for outdoor activity, as the sun was shining throughout. Wayne Martin, head tennis coach at Queens College, was pleased with how the first-time event turned out.

“We had a good turnout for today’s event and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect,” said Martin. “It was great for both tennis teams here and we saw some excellent tennis today, including the president of the University.”

The event was particularly significant to the Queens College community because the Indoor Tennis Center on campus was recently re-opened after renovations from damage from Superstorm Sandy, and they are looking forward to the future of the tennis program going forward.
