SPRING 2019

Kerby Field Gets an UpgradeSince its inception, the Grosse Pointe Farms Foundation has raised over $2 million. This is a testament to the generosity of its generous donors.

The Foundation has funded many projects that have become part of the fabric of our community. These projects include the Dog Park at Mack & Moross, the Ice Skating Rink and Splash Pad at Pier Park, among many others.

The most recent efforts of the Foundation have focused on upgrading the amenities at Kerby Field in conjunction with the City, Grosse Pointe Farms-City Little League and private donors.

Inside this Bulletin is an update on the City’s Annual Water Quality Report. Please see page 19 for more information.

These improvements include field reconstruction, a center field gazebo with flagpole, new wrought iron fencing and the reconstruction of the Kerby Field parking lot.

Construction of the fence and parking lot is set to begin this Spring.

When considering where to donate your charitable dollars, please keep the Grosse Pointe Farms Foundation in mind.

To donate, please send a check made out to the Grosse Pointe Farms Foundation and mail it to Shane Reeside, 90 Kerby Road, MI 48236 or donate at grossepointefarmsfoundation.org.

Youth Tennis LessonsWe are happy to have Eastside Tennis and Fitness returning this summer to provide excellent tennis instruction for your children.

Their goal, and ours, is to introduce children to tennis in an environment which is encouraging, supportive and most of all, fun!

If children are having a good time on the court, they will want to return. It’s that simple!

The hope is to instill a love for tennis in your child so that they will enjoy this great sport for a lifetime.

Classes will be held rain or shine. Refunds will not be given due to poor weather. In the event of poor weather, class will be held in the Warming Building.

Stage 1This program is designed to help children find success from their very first swing. A scaled down size court, low compression balls and lower nets are used. The emphasis is on having fun, introducing the basics and developing coordination and agility.

Stage 2The basic tennis strokes will be introduced: forehand, backhand, volley, overhead and serve, along with correct grip and good footwork. Emphasis will be on learning good

technique right from the start, for students to create good tennis habits to build on.

Stage 3For players that have had a year or more of consistent tennis instruction and playing. These players should be able to rally a ball several times back and forth over the net. All basic tennis strokes will be refined to ensure good technique. Students will learn how to construct a good point through various drills. Basic strategy and court positioning will also be introduced.

Beginner/Advanced BeginnerAll basic tennis strokes and footwork will be developed and refined. Actual tennis games will be played to introduce the students to scoring and strategy.

Placement into the different stages should be based on experience and age. However, there are other important factors such as the height of the child, eye-hand coordination and movement abilities. We encourage parents to put their child in the class that most fits their child, but understand that sometimes the player’s available times just do not correlate to the proper class. In such situations we encourage attempted participation, but ask that participants/parents understand that class curriculum cannot be altered for just one child.
