MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The University of Memphis men's tennis team will join Tennis Memphis in hosting free tennis clinics at four sites throughout Memphis, Saturday.

"The guys on the team came to me and wanted to participate in some volunteer activities and to promote tennis in Memphis," Tiger head coach Paul Goebel said. "These clinics helping Tennis Memphis are the perfect way to help us grow the sport of tennis in Memphis."

Three sites will offer clinics in the morning. The Whitehaven Tennis Center, the Bellevue Tennis Center and the Wolbrecht Tennis Center will all offer an adult clinic from 10-11 a.m. and a junior clinic from 11-12. The Leftwich Tennis Center will offer an adult clinic from 2:30 - 3:30 and a junior clinic from 3:30-4:30.
