It’s that time again! If you haven’t had a chance to attend, what we have affectionately known for many years, as the Family Circle Cup – now known as the Volvo Car Open – then you are missing out on a treat. Each and every year, fans from all over the world gather in the tiny, yet luxurious Daniel Island to watch dynamic tennis players compete in this annual competition.
This year, Volvo has added an extra bonus for the youngsters. For children 15 and younger, they can sign up for free admission all week into the Volvo Car Open, April 2 – 10, 2016. If you child signs up, not only do they receive complimentary tickets, they also become eligible for a free clinic with MWTennis Academy! The Academy is an instructional tennis organization based out of the Family Circle Cup. Kids who sign up for the free clinic will also receive a deck of Shine Bright Kids Finiancially Bright Conversation Cards from Sun Trust, while supplies last.
According to Volvo Car Open Tournament Director Bob Moran, “We saw great success last year when we intially partnered with SunTrust to offer juniors unparralled access to our tournament. Its out collective goal to inspire the next generation of tennis players and fans, and by giving children the opportunity to be exposed to an international, world-renowned tennis event, we feel that our nine-day tournament can become the catalyst for a lifelong love affair with the sport.”
Also, be on the lookout for the City of Charleston’s Tennis in the City even, an annual one-day inner-city youth tennis clinic held at the Jack Adams Tennis Center in downtown Charleston! Meanwhile, complimentary tickets can be redeemed via www.VolvoCarOpen.com, by calling 800-677-2293 oor via the Box Office, located at 161 Seven Farms Drive, Charleston, SC 29492.
