sites throughout the city. The program primarily served inner-city
youth, ages 6 through 12, from 9 am to 3 pm daily. An average
of 800 to 1,000 youth were served on a weekly basis. The purpose
was to provide structure, discipline and exposure to non-traditional
recreation activities such as golf and tennis, gymnastics,
music, health, fitness, and nutrition. Emphasis was placed
on team sportsmanship. Free golf lessons were provided by
HMS public Golf Course Managment Corporation which had a contract
with the city to manager the city's golf courses. Transportation
to various recreational sites was provided by the Parks and
Recreation Department. The purchase of a used bus was part
of the UPARR grant. Free tennis lessons were given on a weekly
basis at sites located on or near public housing complexes.
Due to the popularity of the tennis and golf programs, the
city offered it again during the summer of 1993.
