COVER:

LCRAC’s Council on Aging has been very busy

during the Covid 19 pandemic. Our 7 senior

centers have been closed since March but our

home delivered meals have continued. The

Meals on Wheels program has increased by 34%

which equates to 5 years of growth in 7 months.

LCRAC has been delivering on average about

3,100 meals per week.

The staff at the senior centers and meal sites

have been also doing daily wellness calls to

check on the seniors. LCRAC staff has been

conducting 1800 wellness calls per week. This

has been very important as Covid 19 has resulted

in many seniors to feel even more isolated.

Many community partners have reached out

to help with meal delivery, stocking the food

pantry and other services for seniors in Lexington

County. We especially would like to thank

BCBCSSC and BCBS Foundation for funding

a 7 week Drive up Emergency Food program

to help seniors, a grant from Cargill to fund

weekend meals, and a grant from Meals on

Wheels Association of America to assist in meal

delivery costs. Volunteers continue to help with

safe meal delivery, cards have been made and

handed out and some volunteers have made

activity mind engaging books that were distributed

to seniors while spending time at home. It

has been a tough year but with so many pulling

together we are making it through it.

The overall goal of the seven Senior Centers of the

Lexington County Recreation and Aging Commission

is summarized in the motto, Privileged Ones Growing

Older. Recognizing that it is a privilege to grow older,

we strive to enhance the lives of the older adults

in our population and to acknowledge and benefit

from the numerous gifts those persons have to offer

through their participation in our programs.

Our Senior Centers offer a variety of programs

and activities aimed at enhancing an older adult’s

mental and physical wellness. Anyone who wishes

to participate in our programs must be free of

conditions requiring personal care assistance or

personal supervision. Older adults are welcome to

participate in the daily activities at the Centers. Call

your local Center for age requirements, memberships,

activity fees and program availability.

Tennis Player Development Programs – Ages 4-17

R.O.G.Y. – Red, Orange, Green and Yellow: What does it mean?

Tennis has, for years, been lagging behind other sports when it comes to coaching young children and newcomers to the

game. Other sports, such as baseball, football and soccer, have used age-appropriate equipment such as smaller playing

fields and smaller goals. Tennis has not. Things have changed and finally tennis is catching up with the other sports!

Red Ball

(Ages up to 7)

36 ft. court

Up to 21” racquet

Orange Ball

(Ages 8-10)

60 ft. court

Up to 25” racquet

Green Ball

(Ages 10+)

Full court (78 ft.)

Regular size racquet

Yellow Ball

(Ages 10+)

Full court (78 ft.)

Regular size racquet

10 and Under 10 and Over

This has all changed in the last 6 years or so with the introduction of Red, Orange, Green and Yellow tennis balls (R.O.G.Y.).

Red balls, which are 25% the compression of a full-compression ball (yellow) are used by young children on a 36’ court.

Orange balls are 50% compression and are used on a 60’ court.

Green dot balls have 75% compression and are used on a full size (78’) court.

Yellow balls are 100% compression and they are the ultimate step for the total development.

The result? Children can very quickly learn to rally with each other and start to play games and matches from a very young

age. This is in contrast to what used to happen, which was: children spending hours learning the game on a court that was too

big for them with a ball that bounced too high. This resulted in bad technique, low success rates and led to kids not enjoying

tennis as much as they should.

At LCRAC’s tennis facilities we offer a complete pathway of R.O.G.Y. tennis programs, designed by our professionals to offer

maximum success and enjoyment for your children to fall in love with the sport of a lifetime.

To inquire about our comprehensive R.O.G.Y. program, please contact:
