Crozet Ribbon Cutting

Bring Tennis Back to the Park! Ribbon Cutting

First the derecho at the end of June, then a steady rain at the end of August, but nothing could deter us from "officially" opening the QuickStart courts at Claudius Crozet Park on August 25, 2012. We improvised and set up a portable QuickStart net under the picnic pavilion.

Special Olympics Tennis champion and longtime western Albemarle County resident Jonathan Fried did the honors. Jonathan was accompanied by his Mom Barbara, brother Adam and nephew Michael and friends Connie Gregory and David Luedeka. Also in attendance, Kelly Strickland, Claudius Crozet Park Board Member; Jessica Maslaney, YMCA Site Director; Lynda Harrill, QCV Vice President,QuickStart Tennis Coordinator and Founder; Chris Cubbage, Matilda Blue Tennis; Roy Harrill, QCV Treasurer; and Ann Mallek, Supervisor for the White Hall District, Albemarle County Board of Supervisors.


           Even a QuickStart ribbon cutting is FUN!           Jonathan said "It's a great day for Crozet!"


            Rain didn't keep kids away                           Jonathan with a future tennis star


 Each child received a 10 and Under Tennis t-shirt and a Go Bananas for QuickStart! Tennis bracelet





Many thanks to our supporters -- USTA 10 and Under Tennis Initiative, Bama Works Fund of the Dave Matthews Band, Community Endowment of the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, Inez Duff Bishop Trust, Martin Marietta Materials and Perry Foundation for making these QuickStart courts possible.
