We are grateful to Coach Cooper for making our granddaughter’s visit extra special. She is only here for a month, and in that short time he has helped her learn tennis and get interested in the game. She looks forward to every lesson with excitement. Thank you coach Cooper. You have made this summer she will always remember. Thank you for everything.
