Special Olympics Tennis Team

About a month ago, my sister-in-law (a Special Olympics Basketball coach) mentioned that the Albany, NY area didn't have a Special Olympics team.  I thought, "I love tennis, and Special Olympics is a great organization... I can do something about that."  

So, over the past month, I've gotten my Special Olympics volunteer and coaches training, and started spreading the word through agencies and schools that I would be starting the "Capital Region Aces."

At this point, I have 20 athletes and 5 volunteers ready to go.  I've also been collecting used racquets and balls... What I don't have is the equipment that will really help with skills development:  3 other types of tennis balls, a smaller net, court targets, ball baskets, etc.  Eventually, the team will also need t-shirts.

I would love to get this team off and rallying!  Can you give me a hand?

Thanks much!!!!
