Educational Programs
Chinese
In collaboration with the NC Tennis Foundation and Jinqiong Huang (B.S. in Chinese Language and Literature), we offer low-cost, in-person language classes in Gastonia, NC. These classes are supported by Fit and Healthy and provide students with hands-on learning to strengthen language skills, literacy, and cultural understanding.
We offer English language programs for parents and adult members of our community, many of whom are Hispanic. These classes provide essential language skills to help families integrate into the community, communicate effectively, and better support their children in tennis and daily life. The program also fosters social connections and helps parents engage more fully with the sport and local events.
