BELOW, Volunteer coach Corinna Allen (left) watches as a young boy prepares to hit a forehand shot. Allen, who graduated from Rockbridge County High School last month and was the No. 1 singles player on the Wildcats’ girls tennis team, was one of several high school players helping out at the clinic, which took place at the Washington and Lee University upper tennis courts the first two weeks of June. The clinic, held by the Rockbridge Area Recreation Organization and the Rockbridge Tennis Association, was for youths from ages 6-15. (Jonathan Schwab photos)
