Through the character’s experiences, Coach John Wooden illustrates important personal values and wisdom for all children to relate to.
Harper for Kids Family Day!
Inch and Miles Sportsmanship Tennis Festival
Join the fun on Saturday, July 30th
The Bank of the West Classic is proud to partner with Harper for Kids (www.harperforkids.org), a nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, CA. Their Inch and Miles Sportmanship Tennis Festival program teaches children the importance of life skills through the sport of tennis and legendary UCLA Coach John Wooden’s children’s book “Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success”. Coach Wooden taught leadership and achievement through the “pyramid of success” and Harper for Kids is passing along his wisdom.
As Coach Wooden said, “Success is happiness in your heart, because you made the effort, 100%, to do your best!"
Children will be taught by Harper for Kids tennis coaches and will go through a series of fun games and tennis drills. Thanks to Perfection Learning, each participant will also receive a copy of Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success and a poster of Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success (www.perfectionlearning.com).
Sign up today as space is limited to the first 30 kids (per session)
Each child's spot in the festival will be confirmed once Bank of the West Classic staff receives the waiver form signed and filled out by the child's parent.
