A fantastic morning for tennis in Danville!

Beginning at 10:00 AM on Saturday, representatives from Danville Public Schools, the Mayor's Office, Danville Parks and Rec, Southside Area Tennis Association, Chatmoss Country Club, former GW players, local athletes, and tennis fans from across the region came together to celebrate the grand reopening of the newly renovated George Washington High School tennis courts.

Following a ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees enjoyed tennis activities for all ages, exhibition singles and doubles matches, and the opportunity to experience the upgraded courts firsthand.

These courts serve as the home of George Washington High School tennis and as a primary location for SATA lessons, scrimmages, and community programming. The renovation marks an exciting step toward providing higher-quality tennis facilities for players of all ages and helping the sport continue to grow throughout the Danville area.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this exciting day for our tennis community!

The improvements create a more welcoming, high-quality facility for everyone who plays here—from beginners learning the game to high school athletes competing at home.
