CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University men's tennis team will host the annual Saluki tennis clinic and singles challenger fundraiser at the University Courts on September 11. Participants in this year's fundraiser will be taught a range of strokes and shots that will help fine tune their tennis game. The clinic will be taught by Saluki head coach Missy Jeffrey, along with the players of the 2004-2005 SIU men's tennis team. Along with being taught the different shots of the game participants will also get a chance to try returning serves being hit at them by the top servers on the team. The clinic will wind down with the participants having a chance to challenge any Saluki team member in a singles match. Prizes will be given out to those participants that score the most points against the Saluki squad. The tennis clinic is available to all ability levels from beginner to advance. The clinic will last from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 11 and a $30 dollar donation is required per participant. To register, please contact head coach Missy Jeffrey at (618) 453-7247 or by email at jeffrey@siu.edu.
