]]>(Jersey City, NJ) March 4, 2015 – There is little doubt that tennis is becoming more and more popular among students and community members across Jersey City. For tennis enthusiasts and their families some recent news has given reason to celebrate. ProsToYou, a leader in professional tennis instruction, has recently announced their new partnership with the Jersey City Department of Recreation to volunteer their expertise at all of the city’s public parks and Recreation Department’s summer tennis programs.
“We are very happy to have this opportunity,” said ProsToYou Tennis Chief Executive Officer, Marco Impeduglia. “ProsToYou Tennis and Jersey City Recreation share the similar objective of promoting healthy lifestyles. We will add a great deal of value to the tennis instruction programs run here, and once the quick results are seen, there is no doubt that the community is really going to see the difference.”
“ProsToYou was an obvious choice in our continued effort to spread the game of tennis in Jersey City as we continue to grow our recreational offerings for residents,” said Mayor Steven Fulop. “As we grow the recreation department, we are continually looking for partnerships like this one that will bring our recreational programming to the next level.”
ProsToYou differentiates itself from the competition through highly structured developmental pathways. Students will be able to continue their progression beyond the junior programs into high performance training programs.
In addition, ProsToYou will also offer its signature PlayTennis! Program, which is comprised of three FREE group lessons to all Jersey City residents (adults and juniors) at Saint Peter’s University.
