The Jack State Foundation will continue partnering with the Lewis County Tennis Association (LCTA) to provide two free tennis clinics from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, and Saturday, June 13, at the Jack State Tennis Courts located behind W.F. West High School.
The clinics are for beginners to tennis and are geared toward students in kindergarten through eighth grade. They will be led by W.F. West alum and local teaching professional T.J. Underwood, the tennis director at the Thorbeckes Athletic Club.
For more information or to sign up for either clinic, visit https://linktr.ee/jack_state_foundation.
Spots are limited.
The Jack State Foundation was founded in January 2024 by Kristin State Hutchinson and Kyle State when their dad, legendary W.F. West High School tennis coach Jack State, died at the age of 80.
State was a coach and physical education teacher in the Lewis County community for roughly 50 years. During that time, he led W.F. West boys and girls tennis, high school basketball, Chehalis Middle School basketball and Centralia College men’s basketball teams to success.
“The Jack State Foundation is dedicated to empowering student athletes, ensuring access to sports is never hindered by finances, and granting young people the opportunity to play,” Kristin State Hutchinson said.
